We had a great response to the 2019 photo contest call — nearly 50 photos! The winning entry was by Amanda Skinner (above). It also graces the cover of the 2020 Directory. We were impressed by the action component of this shot: that kid is flying, just like the gulls in the background! (We’re hoping that’s deep water he’s diving into!)
The runner-up photo was by Susan Silcox, and appears elsewhere in the 2020 Directory, and below. We liked the wilderness aspect of this photo, and the rich colours of the environment and kayaks.
