Part 3: What These 25 Nebraska Photographers Captured Will Blow You Away

Photographs of our beautiful Nebraska never get old, no matter how many we see. This week's collection of reader-submitted photos includes plenty of pictures of the sun since we're seeing less and less of it every day as we creep toward the colder part of the year. Thanks to everyone who continues to share their terrific photos with us!
