Are you a history buff? Photography fan? Dedicated traveler? Neighborhood explorer? The steward of a National Historic Landmark? Grab your camera and visit National Historic Landmarks in your community or anywhere you travel. You’ll discover unexpected places and things that are NHLs – railway buildings, a recording studio, college stadiums, submarines, a giant antenna array, cemeteries, a water pumping station, a space simulator, and at least one giant wooden elephant. So check the list (see sidebar) and go explore. The 13th Annual National Historic Landmark Photo Contest page will be open for entries through Wednesday, June 13, 2012 (midnight EST). This year, we’re challenging photographers to give us a little insight to their experience. In addition to your photograph, please share with us a few words responding to one of the prompts below. Visiting this National Historic Landmark: I learned… or I loved… or I met… or I discovered… We’re eager to see your images and to hear what your experiences were like. For complete rules, see the sidebar link or visit the Flickr 2012 NHL Photo Contest page. For downloadable PDF flyer, see the sidebar link.
