Rhinelander woman wins Lake Superior Magazine photo contest
Rhinelander woman wins Lake Superior Magazine photo contest
Ila Turgeon took first place in the People/Humor category for "Sunset Celebration," taken at Point Abbaye on Keweenaw Bay, Michigan, according to a press release issued by the magazine. She was also chosen as the cover winner, which netted her a $150 cash prize in addition to a Lake Superior Wall Calendar and one-year magazine subscription.
The image was among the few honored from a field of more than 1,000. The top winners were announced in the February/March issue of the magazine, the release states. The images are also online at LakeSuperior.com.
"My husband and I enjoy spending time with family at our cottage on Point Abbaye on the Keweenaw Bay," Ila says. "After dinner we often gather on the shore to watch the sunset and celebrate the end of the day. The grandchildren enjoy playing on the shoreline, skipping rocks, chasing the waves and climbing on the large rocks that are sometimes visible above the water line. I love taking pictures, and even though I have hundreds of sunset photos, every sunset is a little different. On this particular evening our three oldest granddaughters - Audrey, Madison and Olivia - had climbed out onto the rocks to watch the sunset. This photo was one of many that I took of them creating different silhouettes in the twilight."
The February/March issue of Lake Superior Magazine is available on Lake Superior-region newsstands and for purchase online. It features the winning images in the categories of Artsy/Altered, Lake/Landscape, Maritime, Nature and People/Humor.
Entries for the 2017 contest will be accepted until Oct. 16.
