In living color

Oh, the limits of newsprint. I was all set to run this popping "Wizard of Oz"-like image in the Weekly's "Worth A Look" section this week, but then learned I didn't have color on that page. Outrage.

Black and white just wouldn't cut it for this Vaibhav Tripathi pic, which recently won first prize in the annual photo contest held by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. Can you imagine?

Lovely stuff. Check out the other winners, and the finalists here.
