My 2012 IN PICTURES

2012 was a busy year what with the Diamond Jubilee, Wimbledon and the London 2012 Olympics within such a short space of time. It was also a year where I travelled to Africa more than ever before, and it was a real privilege to explore more of such a beautiful continent although sometimes for tragic events. Let's hope that 2013 is even better !
