The 10 Most Inspiring Travel Photos This Week

Photo + Video + Film
by Katie Scott Aiton Jul 2, 2016

EACH WEEK WE CHOOSE OUR favorite images from readers, fans, and travelers, who tag their photos with #travelstoke and post them on our Instagram account. These pictures provide a daily dose of incentive, and challenge us to photograph the world in innovative ways. Here are this week’s editors’ picks of people finding some serious #travelstoke.

1. Mark Handy, Thorton, Washington.

Interested in attending one of my photo tours of the Palouse? Be sure to follow the link in my bio. The Palouse isn’t all rolling hills and wonderful sunsets. It’s also barns, horses, gorgeous skies, and dirt roads. I captured this image at high noon, when most photographers wouldn’t bother shooting. But that’s the Palouse for you. You can often shoot all day long — and that’s just what we did this day. Shooting with: @gemini_digitized, @gettyphotography, @eyeonthebay. ______________________________________________________________#landscape #landscape_lovers #travelstoke #wonderful_earthlife #earthpix #naturephotography #exklusive_shot #horse #horses #instagoodmyphoto #washington #upperleftusa #jaw_dropping_shots #beautifuldestinations #nature_sultans #welivetoexplore #wonderful_places #visualsoflife #neverstopexploring #beautifulplaces #agameoftones #thebest_capture #awesome_earthpix #landscapephotography #ig_masterpiece #wildernessculture #awesome_globepix #ig_nature #global_hotshotz #pnw
