We asked our readers to submit their images of our beautiful region in autumn. And they certainly delivered! Stunning photographs of foliage, wildlife and mountain scenery made it tough for our staff to choose the winners. Thank you to all of our entrants and congratulations to our three winners. Enjoy the winning photos, as well as some honorable mentions we just had to share!
