The 2023 Inyo County Amateur Photo Contest hosted by the Lone Pine Chamber of Commerce
Last year we had a great turnout for the event, with lots of photos submitted. Most of the photos were scenic; landscapes, inanimate objects, clouds, flowers, rocks, etc. This year we want pictures of action, people DOING what people do in Inyo county as visitors.
