2nd place
SUSAN ESS
Palmer, AK
“My husband and I bought property on Sister Lake about two years ago. We’ve been planning on building a cabin up there, but for now it’s a place for cabin dreaming under the clouds.”
3rd place
DANNY UNGRUE
Kenai, AK
“Slaughter Gulch Trail classically defines the notion of work for reward. It takes you up the Kenai Mountains to a perch with outstanding views of Cooper Landing, Kenai Lake, and the first flows of the majestic Kenai River. This area represents the Peninsula’s crown jewel and, thankfully, went untouched by this summer’s Swan Lake Fire, which decimated areas along the Sterling Highway just south of where this image was taken.”
Honorable Mention
