Travel far without leaving your seat

Leaving this island feels a little bit like Russian Roulette.  Smells like a good idea but in reality, it’s like trying to put-up a tent on quicksand.   So, how does one escape?  Throughout the pandemic - travel photographers all over the world captured their best bits, some closer to home and some whilst stranded overseas. The winning photos are incredible and take you on a journey.  Coal Drops Yard recently hosted the winning photos from the Travel Photographer of the Year  Awards.  Plus, an open air portrait exhibition for Mentivity; an inspirational mentoring organisation providing support for young people, schools and parents.  Mentivity portraits by documentary and portrait photographers Adama Jalloh and Leonn Ward.   On reflection, whilst you can travel far without leaving your seat - I’ve discovered I quite like taking puddle photos in Kings Cross….
