summertime photo contest winners

by alex on August 23, 2010

Congratulations to Ron and Sarah. Ron’s picture is one of the bravest submissions I’ve received in all the photo contests I’ve had. Is this Silver Star Mountain?

And Sarah’s camera-phone picture reminds me of what summer is all about: driving through the woods and seeing a beautiful river and pulling over to take a quick picture of the water and trees and way-too-bright sky. This is near Mt. Shasta.

I’ll be in touch with Ron and Sarah to hook them up with some activity passes for Oregon Active events. Thanks everybody who sent in pictures.
