Marian Atkinson, along with her brother and sister, took a family vacation to Alaska in August. Her brother, Michael Brown, and sister, Carol Barrett, are both from Long Island and met up with the Saranac resident in Vancouver, where they took an Alaskan cruise up the inside passage.

“The trip, the scenery and the wildlife is amazing,” Atkinson in her submission. “Hubbard Glacier is behind us (in the photo of herself and her brother). We witnessed the ‘calving,’ where an iceberg falls off the glacier into the water. It sounded like thunder when it happened.”

Press-Republican editors gave Linda Harwood extra points for extra effort, sporting what looks like a laminated Press-Republican during a snorkeling expedition at Horseshoe Reef in Belize in the Caribbean.

And 14-year-old Kelsey Burdo, 14, of Peru displayed the Press-Republican in “the City of Lights,” Paris, at the Eiffel Tower in August. With more than 275 monuments, hotels, churches, fountains, bridges and canals, it’s no wonder Paris is awash in light every night.

The Eiffel Tower was also chosen by Lauren Merkel, a student at the University of Richmond majoring in journalism with minors in French and business. She and the Press-Republican also made an appearance at the Eiffel Tower while Merkel was spending her fall semester studying in Paris.

This year, the Press-Republican received an unusually large number of entries, many via e-mail, that had to be disqualified for failure to follow the rules; namely, they forgot to include names, addresses; the file size was just too small to use; or the entries arrived too late.

But all the folks who can follow directions were entered in a random drawing for another $50 restaurant gift certificate. Jim Morse of Willsboro won for his photo at the Grand Canyon Skywalk.

Planning a vacation this year? Grab your paper because the contest will resume in 2008.
