Great works by winners of the National Geographic 2019 travel photography contest
Picturesque villages, powerful animals and the most subtle spiritual moments - this is what you will see in the pictures of the winners of the long-awaited travel photography contest from Nat Geo. Every year, talented photo artists allow us to travel the world with them, peering into the surrounding beauty and harmony through their lenses. Thanks to them, we become witnesses of moments from which we are breathless and which we would have missed if not for these stunning photographs.
