20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
CoalTown Fall Festival

This photo shows my hometown of Welch ,WV during our 2022 CoalTown Fall Festival. After two 100 year floods during the early 2000's, and COVID, our little town has almost been destroyed. This shows life returning where hope and possibilities have almost been forgotten.
