In a year where travel has been difficult to organise and our escapes have been fleeting, more than ever our holiday photographs have become an important keepsake – something we can look back at to remember sunnier climes, intrepid adventures or exciting city breaks with friends. We would like you to share your favourite travel photograph, and also the story behind it. We will be judging both the photo and your accompanying words.
