Renata Gusciora: "My daily commute in Melbourne, Florida. Waiting for the bus: 28 or 29? I am always on the run so I take whichever comes first as I need to catch a transfer next. 28 means a transfer at the mall and walk through the beautiful jungle garden and a chat with my turtle friends at the pond. 29 takes me to the airport so I can catch my transfer there, chat with my favourite bus driver and still have time to grab a coffee before I reach my destination."

Mike Wright: "I've been retired for some time now, so I had to go a long way back for shots from my commute. On this occasion I had just left the outskirts of the city and got into the lanes when I drove past a gate and spotted the sunset out of the corner of my eye. I had to drive another mile before I could turn round and then drive past the gate to find somewhere to park. I grabbed the camera and sprinted down the lane and got this shot of the tractor and the gulls with the Rivers Tavy and Tamar in the background."
