Assignment #429: Your Local Wilderness

Photo By Bob Faucher

For last week’s assignment, we journeyed to our country’s national parks, monuments, forests and public lands. While not every nature photographer has had the opportunity to visit them, many of us can often find hidden gems a short drive from home. For this week’s assignment, submit your favorite landscape, nature and wildlife images that show what wilderness means to you where you live. The deadline is July 22.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor

The winning images from our weekly assignments are featured on the OP Blog, as well as our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
