Two horsemen running through the thick fog in Glenworth Valley, New South Wales, Australia
Striking landscapes, Australia - Aug 2016
Australia's scenic splendour comes in all shapes and sizes, from its valleys and beaches to the Sydney Opera House's white sails.
There's not a kangaroo or koala in sight in this different, beautiful vision of what Australia is all about for some. Instead, this photo series captures breath-taking moments during adventures - including an exquisite shot of horsemen galloping through fog.

Stunning photos of the Scottish Highlands, Britain - 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/sjo1
A photographer has released a stunning series of photos that show the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
Scotland-based photographer Camillo Berenos has spent the past few years travelling though the highlands, capturing breath-taking pictures along the way.
Camillo said: "Unlike many who undertake such projects, I haven't focused on a single defined geographical area, though the majority of my photographic forays have taken me to the Western and North-Western Highlands.
"From the vast but also familiar landscapes of Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe, to the relentlessly steep slopes of the hills in Kintail and the rugged and shapely mountain massifs of Torridon and Wester Ross, I have spent many hours in the hills, with specific destinations often primarily being determined by where the weather forecast looked most favourable."

Tooth tattoos can tell when your ill, Princeton, America - Apr 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Frank Wojciechowski / Rex Features (1686194e)
Michael McAlpine (pictured on the right) and his team at Princeton University have created a remote chemical sensor starting with graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of carbon.
Incredible Tooth Tattoos Can Screen Breath For Illness
A team of scientists at Princeton University have developed a 'tooth tattoo', which can pick up early warning signs of sickness or infection by bacteria in people's breath.
The wireless sensor can be tattooed onto teeth, diagnose an infection and transmit that information to medical professionals.
Michael McAlpine and his team at Princeton believe the sensors could be used for military personnel in the field to determine whether a wound has become infected, or in hospitals where patients with weakened immune systems are extra vulnerable to bacteria.
Mr McAlpine said: "We experimented with a cow's tooth and when a student breathes onto the sensor planted on it, the computer picked up molecules on his breath."
The scientists created the remote chemical sensor with graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of carbon, which is very sticky and has a super-sensitive surface.
They then planted carefully constructed peptides (a sequence of amino acids) onto the surface of graphene. McAlpine and his team have shown the sensors can detect bacteria individually picking them up like Velcro.
McAlpine is currently planning to license and commercialise the device.
