Images are powerful. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the story they tell is woven from much more than just what the viewer sees. A photo brings a moment, frozen in time and space, to the present and beyond. It weaves a tale of what has come before, conveys a different perspective, evokes emotions, and captures one small piece of the world in one brief instant which can never be relived.
Gathered are some of the most powerful images sent to us by local photographers, each with their own story to tell about this beautiful place we call home.
