First Place
"January on the Prinsengracht Canal"

Photo by Lindsay Kockelman; Amsterdam, Netherlands.
"This photo was taken just after visiting the Anne Frank House and Museum.
The bicycle is representative of the culture, as nearly everyone has a bicycle
and uses it as their main mode of transportation within the small city. The houseboats
along the canal are a common sight, as nearly every inch of the canal is lined with
these 'mobile homes on water'."


Second Place
"Camel Caravan"

"My friends and I had signed up for a trip out of Marrakech and one night we rode camels into the Sahara. We watched the sun rise the next morning and left camp, trekking out throught the dunes in the sunlight."

"Ireland: A Glimpse of What it Perhaps Had Been"

Photo by Lisa Patrice Harper; Dublin, Ireland.
"On my way to the touristy Guinness Museum in Dublin, Ireland, I passed down
an old alley and encountered an elderly man and his horse. After snapping a picture
of him, he asked for a donation. Could this be all that is left of Dublin
as Americans perceive it to be?"


Second Place
