Readers’ Choice Winner: Ripples at Sunset by Mark Dobbelmann
Check out the winners of our first Focus on Cities South photo contest.
This summer, we asked readers to share their shots of Apple Valley, Eagan, Lakeville and Prior Lake. Shutterbugs from the four communities sent in their scenic shots, nostalgic memories and more. We’re grateful to everyone who submitted their photos and helped us make our first photo contest a success.
Now, it’s time to celebrate the winners!
