(Camp Hill, PA)- Robin Thompson of Scotland, PA won 2nd place in the Capture the Seasons category of the Pennsylvania Parks and Forest Foundation’s (PPFF) Through the Seasons 2015 Photo Contest. The winning photograph featured an image of clouds reflected on a lake at Codorus State Park.

“My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and decided to visit Codorus for the day. As we were hiking, I turned around and saw a breathtaking view of a still lake and all the beauty it reflected!” Robin says. “I enjoy being able to be in and enjoy nature. There is a lot to be said for the way a quiet walk in the woods can put your whole life back in balance.”

The PPFF contest included six categories: Black and White, Capture the Seasons, Friends and Family Fun, Young Photographers (photographers aged 10-21), Historical Gems, and Nature Up Close.
