Following are some websites that offer terrific images for the armchair adventurer: ideas and inspirations for when we finally get out of jail.

World Nature Photography Awards

“I had this frame in my mind so firstly, so to get this shot, I firstly selected a tree that was in the water so that I can get a good reflection of the sky which can make the image look upside down, then I climbed up on the tree and waited for hours,” explains Vijayan. “This is a regular path for the orangutans to cross to another small island so I was sure to get this frame if I wait patiently. Hence I waited and waited for long and finally, I got this beautiful frame.”

Entries for the next World Nature Photography Awards are open now. The only major condition of entry is images cannot feature restrained or captive animals.
