It’s a fantastic gallery travel photos, what emerges from Travel Photographer of the Year Award, which a few days ago decreed the winners of the 2015 edition among thousands of participants from over 100 countries. An exciting tour of the world followed by talented amateur photographers with a passion for discovery and adventure, which from the most remote corners of the planet tell, sometimes with poignant realism, the infinite complexity. The winning photos of the various sections will be displayed this summer in London in an exhibition at the Museum of London Docklands. And if you want to participate in the next edition with your travel shots, know that the selections open in spring.
