Annette Leu of Waterbury, Neb., captured a foggy sunrise in the Sandhills at Leland Johnson’s ranch west of O’Neill for the winning entry in the “This is Nebraska” class in the photography contest at the Nebraska State Fair.
It is a long tradition that the winning photo from this class at state fair is published in Nebraska Farmer, and Leu’s photo truly captured the spirit of the Sandhills and Nebraska’s ranching legacy.
According to the State Fair Entry Book, this class in the photography contest is for color prints that depict, promote or exemplify Nebraska, its people, its lifestyle or its environs as a great place to live or visit.
“This photo tells the story of the Western culture and ranch life that is found in central and western Nebraska,” Leu says. “It depicts ‘living the dream.’”
Leu took this photo in September 2021 with her Canon Mark III, equipped with a 70-300-millimeter zoom lens. Nebraska Farmer congratulates Leu for capturing an iconic Nebraska ranching image, and for sharing it with our readers.
