A STUNNINGLY serene picture of walkers on a sunny winter’s day is the winner of the South Downs National Park’s Annual Photo Competition. “Chanctonbury Ring” by Tim Kahane took the top spot in the popular photography contest, which attracted over 400 entries, a record-breaking number for the competition. The theme for this year was “My Tranquil Haven” and judges agreed that Tim’s peaceful photograph met the brief perfectly, capturing a moment of serenity amid the uncertainty of 2020. Meanwhile, the competition also included a separate category for best wildlife image – with first place going to an extraordinary photograph of a hare sprinting across a snowy field in the South Downs.
