A generous wallaby.  A line of friends walking down a sun-speckled Australian beach. An airborne duo grabbing for sky above the mountains.

They are the moments captured by the three winning photos selected from 350 submissions to the 2009 AustraLearn – AsiaLearn – EuroLearn Alumni Photo Contest.

Congratulations to Michael Lao of California State University – Long Beach, whose shot of a wallaby appearing to offer his ice cream cone of food to a pigeon won the top prize. Lao studied at University of Technology Sydney, Australia.
