One of our talented photographers, Jon Cornforth, has won “Highly Honored Landscape” in the 2009 Nature’s Best Windland Smith Rice International Photography Awards for his photograph “Torres Dramatic Sunrise.” Such a stunning image and we’re proud to represent award winning photographers all over the world. We’ll let Jon fill you in:

I created this image 2 years ago while backpacking in Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile.  Most trekkers who have visited this location have done so while multi-day trekking and usually only spend 1 night before moving on.  However, my only goal during my visit was to photograph the Torres in epic light, so I spent 5 days/4 nights camping in the same location so that I could photograph the spires each day.  My last morning was the most dramatic.

Congratulations Jon!
