Who loves calendars?
Real ones that hang on the wall, not the ones that get ignored in your phone.
I think it would be awesome to make one with local photography that represents our little home in the mountains throughout the seasons.
Are you with me?
Here’s the basic plan (we’ll figure out the details later).
Local photographers submit photos for each season. The Hey Kimberley community votes on the best shots. The top 12 make it into the calendar. We’ll sell it at Papervale Books — perfect for locals, tourists, and anyone who’s ever loved this place and left.
It’s poll time.
Thanks. Now on to this week’s stuff.
