Peninsula children selected in photography competition
Three Peninsula children were among 20 finalists selected from 356 entries in the Little Sydney Lives 2022 photography competition for 3-12 year olds, run by the City of Sydney recently.
Their photographs were displayed in Sandringham Gardens in Hyde Park between September 15 and October 9.
Lacey Griffiths, from Umina, won the 3-7 years section with her picture of "Sparkly Spikes".
She was presented with a $500 photography pack by Sydney Lord Mayor Cr Clover Moore.
Lacey said about her photo: "It was a rainy afternoon and my mum took us for a bushwalk to explore.
"My brother was feeling the bark on the trees and I noticed the drops of water on the tips of the spikes on this tree.
"They were sparkling in the sunlight."
Lyra Vega Casey Fernandez, from Blackwall, was a finalist in the 3-7 years category with her photo of "Mr Crab" which she took off Woy Woy Wharf.
"I love animals and sea creatures. They are so cute," she said.
"I love this crab on the window that looks like floating in the sky."
Dalton Lucca, from Woy Woy, was also a finalist with a picture of "Daddy and Darcie".
"It was Easter long weekend, our family were in Covid iso and we were enjoying some lazy outdoor family time," Dalton said.
