_____________wÕÕw_____________
Thank you to everyone who submitted photographs that captured the essence of winter.
In many, the beauty and colour of snow and ice were featured.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS (in no particular order);









Third Place
Gill Kopy

A photo that captures the quite serenity of a grey winter's day.

Second Place
Marisa D.L.

The icy formations on the waterfront encasing the ropes and railings create a mystical setting.
The photograph evokes the power and durability of the cold so often associated with winter.


First Place
Mike Stobbs

This photograph captures the essence of a winter story, a mystery, and an adventure as a skier approaches an abandoned dwelling.
Excellent composition!!!

Again, congratulations and thank you all for participating!
