Longboat Key photo contest winner: Oct. 8

Cheryl Press submitted this photo taken at Bay Isles Beach Club, noting that the waves on Longboat Key were bigger than those of North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

This year’s weather and nature photo contest will come to an end later this month! The last winners up for consideration for this year’s grand prize will run in the Oct. 29 Observer. So, get your photos into us by Monday, Oct. 26!
