Organised by the BBC Wildlife Magazine and London's Natural History Museum the Wildlife Photographer of the Year is an annual prestigious international photography competition.

For those of you in the area the Museon in The Hague is displaying the amazing wildlife images captured by exceptional talent from behind their lenses - and I can say first hand it is well worth a visit. The images are stunning, thought provoking and mesmerising, representing photographers from across the globe.

The categories are varied and show the beautiful, the weird, the contradictions and the ferocity of nature. Some photos show the relationship between man and beast, the horror man is capable of, others show breathtaking natural phenomena.

You can find more information about the different categories and winning photos on the Natural History Museum website.

The exhibition runs until 5 May 2013 and entrance tickets to the Museon are €10 for adults which provides entry to the entire science and culture museum - which is also worth a tour round if you have not yet been. More info can be found on the Museon website.
