Mid August wrapped up the final season for the LLPOA pandemic inspired photo contests. The smoky sun from wildfires, water, celebrations, and residents of all shapes and sizes appeared in the many photos. Thank you for sharing your views of life on Lone Lake. Summer 2021 winner is Keith Youngquist, seen above, combining water, boat, fun and the setting sun. Judges noted this “wrapped together everything a Lone Lake summer is hoped to be.”

While LLPOA photo contests will go on hiatus for now, keep an eye on the Aitkin Independent Age newspaper for photo contests as well as mid MInnesota area publications. Thanks to all for taking and submitting the photos and to all others for taking a moment to relax and enjoy our lake through the lens of someone else.

Additional photographers highlighted in this newsletter, in order of their a photos. Could one of them be your neighbor? Isn’t it great to see your lake when you couldn’t be there!
