The Warmshowers Photo Contest winners are all of us - because we get to be inspired by the photos. Thanks to all of you for the wonderful submissions. You can expect them to show up here on these pages.

Take a look again at all the entries.

I wasn't able to get in touch with winner Yosuke Hasegawa for his feedback, but here's what runner-up Joris van Mastrigt had to say about his camping picture in the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia:

First of all I'd like to thank warmshowers for the wonderful time we had cycling through the USA. Warmshower hospitality was inspiring!

Camping on the Salar was the most wonderful camping experience ever. Cycling all day across the salt was beautiful. No noise, just the crackling of the small saltridges. Just a few mountains behind the horizon and clear blue skies. At four o'clock we decided to stop. We turned right from the track we were on and went straight for a couple of hundred meters. On this spot of perfect hexagons we stopped. Here we were in this bright white plane with a hundred kilometer view and absolutely no cover. So quiet. A few jeeps passed us in the distance whil the sun started to set. It was an incredible sunset with the sun going down on one side and the dark roling in on the other. I stayed outside untill the stars came out...... And quickly went in because it was freezing!!!!
