Palm trees bending in the breeze, pristine beaches, sparkling blue water, lush vegetation, misty waterfalls, and the serenity of being away from it all - "Islands" is an escape with every glance. Here are hundreds of beautifully photographed, full-colour images guaranteed to bring tranquillity, and a sense of peace, from Bali to St. Barts, Vieques to Crete, "a rich and lovely land, washed by waves on every side".

(Homer, "The Odyssey"). This calendar captures these little bits of paradise, every day of the year.
