Joel’s comments: "This image is not only put together well, in layers, it's a great moment. The snow is coming down and we really feel like we're there. This is very hard to do, as moments like these, seen well, don't happen every day.”

Second Place Winner: Nancy Mooney
The Beauty of Yellowstone.
Joel’s comments: "What starts out as a lovely landscape is made incredible by that blue glow in the center. I've never seen anything like it."

Hundreds of boats were removed from Folsom Marina Lake because the elevation in the Folsom
Lake is completely dry. Folsom Lake is currently facing one of the most severe drought on record and more than 85% of its water reservoir is completely empty. A glimpse of global warming among other places in the world. Folsom Lake - California -

One of my favorites from last winter! I just love the S-shape aurora that went perfectly around the
chairlift pole -

Happy earth day! I took this photo while backpacking crows pass, on of the most beautiful trips I’ve ever taken. We are so lucky here in Alaska to have access to huge amounts of preserved natural beauty. Unfortunately its also one of the places where the effects of abuse and neglect on our planet are becoming the most apparent. I don’t pretend I know what the solution is to this global crisis, but I do know how powerful experience can be. So get out there and bring your friends who may never have had a chance to see the “real” world! It’s hard to truly care about something you’ve never got the chance to experience

This photo is from last summer’s flooding in Wood County, West Virginia. As the floodwaters receded,
Rev. Dr. Ken Krimmel, a United Methodist pastor, delivered cleaning supplies to community
residents. We’ve always had floods in West Virginia. In the last few decades, climate change and
mountaintop removal coal mining have made them more frequent and severe. West Virginians are
shaped by the joy of our stunning natural setting and the sorrow of our natural and increasingly, our
human-made disasters. -

CHQ's Week Five :: July 23–30
People and Environment
In Partnership with National Geographic Society
How do we survive in a natural world we are increasingly out of touch with? How has our sense of our surroundings changed? How has the role of government in preservation changed? In this week we examine our surroundings and the ways we can preserve and save our home land and seas. Fifty years into the environmental movement, and 100 years after the National Parks were founded, we look to learn from our past, explore our environments and prepare for the future.
