Though the holiday season is always a busy one, that didn’t stop GBI field personnel from sending in a wide selection of great pics for the December photo contest. This month’s winner is NCC Crew Member, Allison Hirvonen, who took the above photo at the Kershaw Ryan State Park trail project.
Our congratulations and thanks to Allison and our other entrants, whose photographic visions are on display below.




“This photo was taken at Wupatki National Monument while conducting a topographic survey. The object in the front of the photo is a bench level and sighting scope used to read the numbers on the standing survey rod (waaaayy off in the distance of this photo). This survey was taken to help understand the hydrology and runoff patterns of the park. The survey will be used to design some sort of mitigation system to prevent any flooding/damage to the Pueblo ruins downslope of this location.”
