The "Game Photography Contest", Mai/June 2016 Edition

Thanks to muratogut, RadonGOG, benderz, Ragnarblackmane, Laulajatar, genkicolleen and Vythonaut for the previous contests!

This contest's theme is: Vacation. A picture that for you captures the feeling of vacations. Please also write a sentence or two, why it means that to you :D

The rules from the original Game Photography contest by muratogut apply:

Contest: Take a photo from a game, and put it here. [...]

Rules (important):
1- These pictures must look like a real photograph and without the game interface, chat panel or any similar panel.
2- This is not a screenshot contest, so "hey look at my high score" or "phear mai l33t skillz" type of screenshots will not be counted as a photograph.
3- You can use minimal photo editing, like contrast, sharpness, hue, brightness adjustment, but please no photo montages.
4- Suitable photography forms and techniques will be accepted, aerial, architectural, cloudscape, landscape, street, wildlife photography etc... Treat the contest as an art contest, so you don't have to do things like photojournalism, documentary photography.
5- Don't cheat. If you put a picture that doesn't belong to you and this is detected, your picture will be out of contest. Take new pictures for this contest.
The prizes:
* A $9.99 game from gog - random draw
* A $5.99 game from gog - for screenshot I like best

Entries will be closed on 19th of June 2016.

I have two, pretty self explanatory : )
Deadfall Adventures
Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons

I don't think I am in..
Cheers, Moon. I haven't taken many vacations myself. I imagine a nice vacation would take place near a beach and a great body of water. With that I present these three screenies:

GTA V #1
GTA V #2
ARK: Survival Evolved

Not in though, but thank you for keeping this GA alive. Enjoy your well-deserved break.

EDIT: First link broke

Not In

I usually try to do a little bit of everything depending on where i go on vacation,i love the sea so the beach is a favourite of mine,if it's an historic city i'll probably try to visit all the various landmarks or walk through the old streets,walk along the coast in cities near the sea and,though not frequently in these last years,do a bit of trekking if i chose the mountains.

I'm in (as always :P)

1) Agony. because we've all had vacations where the weather becomes foul and we can't go to the beach :P

2) Age of Wonder Demo. What's better than waking up in a meadow with the sun coming up and a dragon flying by?

will add more later (there is a few games that lend itself to this type of competition :D)

wouldn't that be boring? It's awesome waking up in the meadow, see the dragon fly by, and know today you could go dragon hunting, but only if you do do have few friends.
Not in :)

This is from Divinity Original Sin EE. Had to crop the picture, because I couldn't turn the UI off :(
This was the first videogame image that popped in my mind when I read "vacation" :)

Outdoors never bore me, especially if there is a forest nearby and a river. :) This is the best vacation i can think of, since everything you may need is easily reached. A dragon will only be a nuisance and if you piss him enough, he may burn the forest down which is a no-no scenario. :P
*holiday bump*
Here, managed to take one without the bald guy appearing.

This one is from Hitman Absolution. I really loved the mansion, it has a very secluded and quite atmosphere.

The 5-star Fred Resort on Birdnest Beach. It's a free-for-all beach. I think everyone could agree that it is the best place in the world :-)

Went to the beach, but it's a bit frozen right now:

Nice shots indeed, but I prefer more active holidays, with compass in hand perhaps..
