Scenic Norfolk is pleased to announce the two winners of the summer competition. The lucky winners will be published in 'Discover Norfolk' - a brand new hard back book celebrating the beauty of our county with fascinating text and stunning photography by Stephen Browning and Daniel Tink, released early 2011.
We wanted to know what it is about Norfolk that you love and here is what the winners had to say:
Sandy Watson, from Aldborough, Norfolk
"I love Norfolk for so many reasons. When I first moved here from London I soon became a single parent. Norfolk has given both my son and I so many opportunities that perhaps may not have been provided for in London. I simply adore the rural villages dotted throughout our North Norfolk Coastline. I love the expanse, wilderness, big skies, freedom and all the wonderful characters that make Norfolk such a great place to live in. I love the many redundant churches, old ruins, castles, museums, fishing villages, the slower pace of life, the ability to breathe non-toxic fumes, etc. Thank you Norfolk for giving me so much."
Anna Ovenden, from Knapton, Norfolk
"Norfolk is a beautiful County offering a lifestyle that most people dream about. The Norfolk Coastline stretches for miles offering sandy beaches and scenic views. You can enjoy the coast and countryside as well as fun and culture in the City of Norwich. Where else would you find paradise? That is why we moved to Norfolk."
This competition is now closed, but we would still love to hear why you love Norfolk, so please click here to send us your quote. We will add all quotes to the website on a dedicated page.

Map of Norfolk
Photo galleries of Norfolk Villages are listed on your left, but for a graphical respresentation of their location, Scenic Norfolk has put together a handy map.
Seals at Horsey Beach Winter may not appeal to all for a trip to the coast, but if you head to Horsey Beach during January you'll have a fantastic opportunity to get a close look at Grey Seals giving birth to pups right on the beach.
It's great hearing your comments and memories for Norfolk places photographed in the galleries. If you spot a place you've visited or live nearby, I would love to hear from you. Comments can be made using the instant feedback form found at the bottom of photo pages. Here's what some of you have had to say so far....
"In the past I have enjoyed a few boating holidays on the Norfolk Broads. This photograph helped jog a few memories of many pleaseant memories of Ranworth. Thank you"
"This spot brings so many memories, the cottage where I was born was just at the bottom of this hill. Does anybody remember Fred Moy the baker with his pony and trap? His horse was kept at the bottom of the hill. Thanks for the memories!"
"Wow, what a gorgeous photograph which perfectly captures a blustery day on the Norfolk coast. Simply beautiful."
"What a lovely experience, travelling on the Poppy Line to Holt on an old steam train from the station at Sheringham."
"A place I visit often with my wife where we meet friends and family, have a drink and a chat or mardle as you might say."

'The Spirit of Norwich' by Daniel Tink
'Spirit of Norwich' is now available from all major local bookstores and online from Amazon. If you do buy a copy, many thanks and I hope you enjoy my photographic guided tour of Norwich, Daniel.
2009 was a fantastic year for me, starting with the release of Stephen Brownings chart topping book 'Discover Norwich'. Stephen was kind enough to choose a number of my photographs of Norwich to appear in his book. Since the success of 'Discover Norwich', the publisher Halsgrove has kindly offered me my own book on Norwich, titled 'The Spirit of Norwich'. The book will be a photographic guide to Norwich exploring all the famous streets, scenes and architecture that this fine city offers. Released on May 27th 2010 from all good local bookstores and Amazon.
