(PICTURED: EDOARDO BROTTO IN THE CLOUDS IN THE ITALIAN ALPS) - A photographer was left on cloud nine after a trip to the Alps almost ruined by extreme weather produced these stunning snaps - of him appearing to be stood on a cloud. The mind-boggling optical illusion left keen snapper Matteo Zanvettor, 41, feeling on top of the world as gusts of wind up to 100kmph threatened to derail his trip. But he and pal Edoardo Brotto couldnt believe their luck when the winds whipped up the frozen snow into a frenzy - and made it look just like a cluster of clouds. Matteo, from Merano, Italy, took the incredible images on a trip to the Italian Alps last week and was stunned with the spectacular results.

It might be chilly outside but this snowy snap of a cute penguin couple holding hands is enough to melt even the coldest of hearts. The perfect pair enjoyed a romantic clinch, opting for a moment of solitude while dozens of other penguins gathered nearby. The heart-warming display of affection took place in Port Lockroy - a natural harbour in the Antarctic Peninsula - and was captured on camera by professional photographer, Silviu Ghetie. The 43-year-old from Baia Mare in Romania usually takes pictures of people but couldnt resist snapping this magic moment while on a photography expedition.
