Third Prize Elyssa Evans Far from home, close to the mountains (The Great Wall) This photo was taken after a long and strenuous hike in order to scale the side of the great wall. Once there, my group and I were lucky enough to find a portion of the wall with very few people on it. At the time, I was struggling with being so far away from my home in Colorado, but being in and hiking through the mountains in China to see this amazing cultural icon allowed me to feel a connection to home.
