The Washington Island Observer thanks all of the many subscribers who entered our second annual photo contest. You captured the beauty and mystique of being on and around our unique islands! There were so many fine photographs among the entries that the judges had a difficult time choosing winners for the three categories (People, Wildlife, Landscapes). We appreciate everyone who took the time to enter. If you didn’t win this year, please start taking photos for 2020 as you enjoy the islands’ fall season.
