When I first started writing these articles, I had no idea just how many people would send in their photos of the state; the overwhelming response has blown me away! We have done three articles now showcasing reader submitted photos, so this is the fourth installment. The photos just seem to get more unreal and beautiful every time I write one of these, so thank you again to all the talented photographers out there who so kindly share their photos with us!

If you’d like your photo to be featured, please follow the submission guidelines at the bottom of this post.
