Top Notch Honorable Mention

Tanya Keeter wins a Top Notch honorable mention for this sunset photo, taken Aug. 13, her first night visiting AMI with family from North Carolina. “We — my husband, myself and my three girls — drove from NC for the first time and had been on the road almost 12 hrs,” she wrote. “We rushed to the beach to just catch the sunset after the storms at the 79th street access and I was amazed at the other worldly and breathtaking views! What a beautiful slice of paradise this island is!” Islander Courtesy Photo
