Grand Prize Award-Winning Photo: Starved Rock State Park, Illinois
This award-winning photo by Roy Goldsberry draws the viewer in from a unique perspective. Of his road trip travels he says, “I retired a few years ago, and my wife and I realized that we could do stuff on the spur of the moment. When we heard about Starved Rock State Park in Illinois, we visited for a few days. The park has small canyons and waterfalls, and we had a good time exploring them, including the falls in LaSalle Canyon.” Check out more contest winning photos of America’s parks.
