WINNER: Melody Where I May Roam
I love how Melody captured the color of the water on Grand Turk, I know this is how it looks as we were just there in November. Thanks to all the entered and look forward to Melody hosting the next round.
It’s time for another round of Travel Photo Roulette! We won last rounds Travel Photo Roulette themed “Paradise.” Here is our winning photo taken from one of the best beaches in the world Koh Lipe Thailand.
According to the rules of the competition, I get to choose the next theme, receive and post the pictures that are submitted, and choose the winner!
Best Beaches In The World
Travel Photo Roulette round #122 will be “best beaches in the world.” It doesn’t have to be from the cover or Conde Nast. They can be your favorite beach right down the road from you or a far away land. Competition will be based on the quality of the photo not the quality of the beach, so share you best beaches in the world!
How to enter Travel Photo Roulette #122
To enter the Travel Photo Roulette competition simply leave a comment below with a (publicly accessible) link to your image (whether Flickr, Picasa, Smugmug, etc. or your own site) along with a brief description or caption for the photo. You must have a travel/photography blog to enter. Be sure to send the blog link as well as the picture link. Send the country and place. Descriptions aren’t necessary. The explanation should be in the shot.
The Travel Photo Roulette #122 contest runs from today, Sunday, March 13– until midnight EST on Saturday March 19.
I’ll post the entries as they come in, so check back here throughout the submission period to see them (below), and feel free to comment on them.
When the submission period ends, we’ll review all your awesome travel photos, and will announce the lucky winner of Travel Photo Roulette #122 here.
Travel Photo Roulette Contest Overview
The contest rotates through travel/photography blogs, so the winner of the previous round of Travel Photo Roulette hosts the subsequent round on their own blog. The new host then chooses the next theme (a generic keyword or phrase) and bloggers submit their interpretations of the theme over the course of the contest.
At the end of the submission period, the hosting blogger chooses their favorite photo from the submissions, displays it as that round’s winning entry, and then passes the Travel Photo Roulette baton on to the winner for the next round. Readers can attempt to sway the host blogger into picking a certain photo via comments, but the host ultimately freely chooses their favorite. The game is repeated with the winner hosting the following month’s game and choosing a theme for new photo submissions.
Feel free to share this post on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media so more people can join the contest. And do be sure to use the hashtag #PhotoRoulette!

Entry #1 Chris from To India And Beyond
It is Baia do Sancho on Fernando de Noronha, Brazil. Taken in June 2014 when I was there for the World Cup.
Entry #2 Melody from Wherever I May Roam Blog
A great shot of the color variations in Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands. Wherever I May Roam Blog.
Entry #3 Our Wanders
Tunnels Beach in Kauai, Hawaii, taken during our trip to Kauai last April.
Entry #4 Anne from Let Me Be Free Blog
Little beach in Albany, Western Australia has the brightest turquoise waters and the whitest sand I have ever seen. Looking at the waves the water is transparent you can see straight through the wave.
