Picture Perfect Winter Competition #6 - Utopia


When a dream comes true!




Can you imagine the joy when your image of Utopia, your long held vision of the ideal life in your idea of a perfect place finally becomes realised. For this Chinese Student, from Shanghai, Australia was that imagined Utopia. She had yearned for and dreamed of this moment since a child. On a cold and blustery winters day, standing on Bondi Beach, she knew it was no longer a dream but real. She had arrived in Sydney about two days previous but not until this very moment did it seem to be real to her. So caught up in the emotion she leaped, shreaking into the cold salty air, taking in every last drop of the moment!!
