Mogiła Abbey, a Cistercian monastery, was established in 1222, and soon after ransacked by the Mongols in 1241Three flamingo species – the Andean, Chilean and James’s flamingoes – can be found across South America’s
highlandsPaweł Litwiński is a lawyer
and lives in Kraków, PolandI decided to go to Mogiła, about
15 minutes from my home, to
shoot the abbey there. It was a
rainy day so I decided to head
inside. It was the right decision,
as the interior was so calm. Even
better, it gave me perfect
conditions for taking pictures. I
like this shot very much because
of the peaceful feel that comes
out of it. The abbey itself is quite
far from the usual tourist routes,
which makes it authentic and
unspoiled. And this is what I
love about this picture.MOGIŁA, POLAND

Greg Matthews, from Vancouver,
Canada, spent three days in Salar de UyuniWe had taken a tour around
Salar de Uyuni, which
I now count as one of my
favourite trips. There were so
many unique and surreal things
to see around every corner. We
encountered the Blue Lagoon
on our second day while
touring through Eduardo
Avaroa Andean Fauna National
Reserve. There to greet us were
hundreds of flamingoes – not
something one would expect to
see at an altitude of almost 4,
metres, high in the Andean
mountains. It was a
photography lover’s dream!BLUE LAGOON, BOLIVIA
