This week's winning pic: we think it's teenage, mutant and ninja 

From sand to snow to underwater action – we’re loving the variety of your pics. This week’s winner is Poul Brix, who sent in this photo he took while snorkelling in Hawaii.

“I spent five weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2005 and snorkelled with these turtles pretty much every day as they came into the shallows to sleep every night,” says Poul.

“The camera was an underwater single-use Kodak!” he adds.

This picture completes January’s set of winners and you can see the lot in our (soon-to-be) prestigious hall of fame on our Facebook site here.

Poul wins a year’s subscription to Adventure Travel for his winning shot, and you can too by emailing your pics to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

It was a pretty awesome trip smilies/grin.gif

I think the biggest one I saw was about 1.5 meter over the shell and very fast, I remember one meeting where I was trying to swim next to one and it looked at me and with a few strokes left me behind in a cloud of sand!
