Prize-winning view
WHILE holidaying in South America last month, engineer Dovi Broner decided to make a three-hour hike to the edge of the active Pacaya volcano in Guatemala, about 30 kilometres southwest of Guatemala City.
As Broner, 25, of East St Kilda, sat on the roof of an observation hut and took in the view, he asked a passerby to take a photo of him, along with a stray dog that had followed him on the trek.
The photo has won The AJN’s annual summer holiday photo competition and wins Broner a three-day holiday at the luxury Hayman resort in the Whitsundays.
Broner said he enjoyed the six-week trip that included Bolivia and Mexico and will be going to Israel with his family for Pesach.
The prize for the best sunrise/sunset photo was won by Eli Hochberg of Dover Heights (NSW), who snapped a hot summer’s evening in New York during a family trip to the United States last July.
He wins a three-night holiday at the five-star Palazzo Versace hotel on the Gold Coast.
Hochberg, 21, a design student at the University of Technology, Sydney said he loved the exciting atmosphere of New York and is looking forward to returning for a month to study at the famous Parsons school of design in New York for summer school later this year.
The holiday photo competition was judged by a panel and <I>AJN<P> readers. There was also a prize for a lucky voter — Keren Zelwer of East St Kilda won a three-night stay at the luxury Peppers Beach Club in Port Douglas.
