New York State Parks photo contest

Peebles Island looking onto Mohawk River

This is not a contest entry. But it is a photo from Peebles Island State Park near Cohoes.

Check it out: There's a New York State Parks photo contest in progress. You can gawk at the entries -- a bunch of beautiful natural scenes from around the state -- at that link.

Blurbage: "You've been challenged to explore New York's State Parks. All you need is a camera and a sense of adventure and you could win a DSLR camera, New York State Camping Gift Cards or Empire Passes.. Grab your friends and family and start exploring!"

The photos must be taken on New York State Parks lands between August 29, 2017 and November 30, 2018 (also the deadline for entering). Entries are divided into five categories with different themes, such as "on the Trails & Off the Beaten Path." Winners will be selected by a panel of judges. (As with anything like this, it's worth reading the rules and fine print.)

Thanks Greg and Mary, I just entered one of my pictures in the competition. Hope it does well!

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
