On this New Year's Eve, we are bringing you some beautiful night photography as 2012 bows out making way for 2013 and all of it's promise.

Imagine the scene: a beautiful sunny day, no pressing, urgent work or engagements, the rolling hills in perfect view just outside the door, a gentle breeze and a table and chairs waiting to be occupied. A bottle of wine on hand, along with a couple of glasses, and the person you most like to spend time with right there to share the wine with you... idealism to the max! Of course, that is not the situation most of us are in right now, so here is a selection of beautiful wine-related photographs to take you off to dreamland for a few minutes.
Moonlight is considered to be a romantic time by many. Sunshine tends to throw yellow light on everything it touches, while moonlight often makes everything look blue.

Here we have selected some beautiful, romantic examples of moonlight photography for your viewing pleasure.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles was the title of a very funny 1987 film starring Steve Martin and John Candy. Surely the name was no accident.... those three forms of transport are the fastest means of getting from A to B, and represent 'boys' toys'.
