These are personal photos taken while travelling and aren’t part of Claire Lau Photography, but I’ve mentioned my landscape and wildlife photographs a few times on this website (e.g. here) so I thought you might like to see some of them.  I have many of these photos hanging on my walls at home and they bring me huge joy every day. 

Let me know if you recognise any of these places!
