We asked you for your images of water on your travels, and here are the best, from Montenegro to Nebraska

(missrishikasharma)

For our latest Instagram challenge (you can see the last one here), we asked our followers to post their best travel photos of water, using the hashtag #IndySplash. Here is a selection of the best, taken in far-flung destinations, as well as places closer to home.

Our next topic: British beaches, whether it's bustling like Brighton or a quiet cove. Just add #IndyBeach to your Instagram post, new or old, and we'll pick the best for next month's gallery.

For #IndySplash, we start with a shot of Montenegro's beautiful Bay of Kotor...

On Scotland's north coast you'll find a 20-metre waterfall

 

Smoo Cave and waterfall in Durness, Scotland. It's a uniquely formed sea cave combined with a freshwater cave. Believed to have been used by Norse Vikings as a hiding hole during their raids of the British coastline. If you're going to visit the north coast of Scotland this place is well worth a visit with its 83m of caves and 20m waterfall. Plus, you can take a dip in the frigidly refreshing North Atlantic Ocean. #indysplash #SmooCave #ScottishHighlands #Durness #cave #waterfall #wanderlust #travelgram #theoutbound #ScotSpirt #LoveScotland @visitscotland @independenttravel
