Travel Photo Carnival Round 3!

Welcome to the Travel Carnival Round 3! I’m flattered to be declared the winner of Round 2 and given the opportunity to host Round 3. 


What is the Travel Photo Carnival? It’s a way for travel bloggers to present and show off some of their best photography. Who doesn’t love travel photography right!? We know there’s a ton of great photos out there! 

Here’s how it works: Each round a new theme is chosen and presented for travel bloggers to submit their best/favorite photo for that topic. The host (Outside the Limits this round) of the contest will then select a winner from all the submissions. Once a winner has been crowned, the Travel Photo Carnival will move to the winner’s site to host and pick their own theme for the next round. 

Travel bloggers can submit one entry per website based on the week’s theme. All submissions have one week to be submitted. At the end of that time, the host blogger will select a new winner and the winner then repeats the whole process on their website. 

Previous Travel Photo Carnival Winners and Hosts 
Previous rounds of Travel Photo Carnival hosts, themes, and winners are listed below. Clicking on the link of each hosted site will take you to the previous rounds of the Travel Photo Carnival to see all of that week’s entries.

Here’s my winning photo from Round 2! I love taking pictures of coastal scenes. The picture below was shot between Gold Beach and Brookings, Oregon. Arguably, Oregon has some of the most interesting coastline around. It’s definitely worth a road trip! 

This Week’s Theme:  Sunrise or Sunset  

Watching the sun rise and set never seems to get old. This week’s theme is open to interpretation. The picture doesn’t necessarily have to be a traditional shot of the sun rising or setting. For example, a photo could show how the light reflects off a certain object, person or place at your favorite travel destination during the prime lighting hours of the day. There are so many opportunities for beautiful shots all around the world. So show off your stuff! 

Here are a couple of my favorite “Sunrise or Sunset” shots:
