You are looking at the top prize-winning photo in Scenic Virginia’s annual statewide photo contest for 2021, with winning entries announced Monday. Allen Street of Oakwood captured the statewide best in show honor with this stunning sunset viewed from the Birch Knob tower. He described the moment thusly: ‘These lonely mountains located in Southwest Virginia have been my home for years and provided a childhood that is unmatched in my opinion. This particular June evening, my girlfriend and I sat on the rocks at Birch Knob waiting on the sunset. As the sun sank lower in the sky, the warm glow of the sunlight started to reveal itself in the foreground followed by a pastel painting on the horizon. As this magical scene appeared in front of us, the lonesome sound of a whippoorwill erased the silence.’ Notecard sets of the winning photos can be purchased. Look for details at scenicvirginia.org.
