First-ever COURIER Facebook photo contest brings colorful entries, one year subscription

The rules were simple. Just paste your best rainbow photo to our Facebook wall and let the Claremont COURIER staffers pick their favorite.

The contest was the brain-child of Photo Editor?Steven Felschundeff, who took his daily bicycle ride through the Wilderness Park sans camera, missing the spectacular double-rainbow that arched across Claremont.

Claremont resident Holger Paetau shot this lovely photograph as the double rainbow hugged Pooch Park. The “nice light” atop the sycamore tree sealed the deal for Mr. Felschundeff.

We’d like to thank the residents who took part: Aimee Baker, Dan Berens, Michelle Bivans, Marianne Duyan, Rebecca East, Nancy Fisher, Carly Gardner, Kimberley George, Michelle Godt, Russel Heskin, Lee Kimmel, Dave Laybourn, Rod Leveque, Christine Liles, Dannette Mejia, Barley Peace, Cherie Savoie, Sabine Schrader, Frederick Dianté Thomas and Don Warhurst.
