“Taken as the sun set on our 3 week visit to New Zealand,” said lucky member Ann Trendell, of this stunning ocean sunset.

Great Barrier Island is part of the Hauraki Gulf islands, in the Auckland region. It’s a haven for boating and water sports, on a backdrop of high cliffs, secluded bays and pristine beaches. Hike through native forest, go camping among the wilderness and spot dolphins close to the shoreline.

Lake Como

By Sue Niblett

Member, Sue Niblett took this shot, “looking toward the town of Bellagio”. The picture immediately inspires the urge for a holiday on the water, by Lake Como.

A popular resort since the days of the Roman Empire, Lake Como is now often star-studded with celebrities. The charming town of Bellagio is located on a promontory between two forks in the deep, glittering lake. Here, you can walk, cycle, swim and stay in luxurious villas.
