Nature's Own Spotlight on the Gospel Wilderness

First Place

Photographer's Statement:

The mountain that is in the picture is called buffalo hump. The sun rise is the spotlight of the morning. It is important to take care of the land we use and if we don’t take care of it, our land will become ugly and not the land as we enjoy it today. I enjoy paddle boarding, fishing, hunting, and hiking in the Gospel Hump Wilderness. I am very fortunate to live close to this area and see it daily from my house
