The
photo of the year for 2017 is a reader
submission. In late May, Devin Biggs
caught a shot of a double rainbow from
end to end. The rainbow was the result
of a quick rain shower passing through
the county followed by a sunny end to
the day. Devin was in the parking lot at
Logan Lanes and caught a shot that shows
the rainbow in its entirety. The rainbow
was seen by many, but Devin is the only
one who submitted a complete shot. At
the risk of being editorial, the rainbow
says to us that we are living in a
golden community. Logan County is full
of potential waiting to be realized. May
2018 be a year of good things for
everyone.
We're also throwing out a couple of
honorable mentions this year, going to
Lincoln Daily News Jan Youngquist and
Mitch Douglas. Both caught shots of snow
in the Lincoln downtown area that with a
little tweaking reflected a calm,
serene, and picturesque community.
Jan caught her shot in mid-November, as
she was traveling Pulaski Street in
Lincoln. It had been a day of rain,
wind, thunder, hail, and finally giant
snowflakes. Her shot captures the
attractive qualities of Lincoln's
vintage buildings along Sangamon and
Chicago Streets, with the courthouse's
lovely dome and Seth Thomas Clock faces
in the background, accented with
snowflakes so large, they almost look
like snowballs!
On Christmas Eve, Mitch grabbed some
shots from an upper floor at the Lincoln
Art Institute. The downtown area was
covered with a fresh blanket of snow,
and with the addition of a white
vignette, Mitch turned a shot of the
Arcade and neighboring buildings on
Pulaski Street into a picture postcard
of peace and serenity.
Thanks to Devin for always having that
camera ready and always happily sharing
his great shots with LDN, and thanks to
Jan and Mitch for finding beauty in
ordinary items.
