A pair of photographers were on Lake Monona shooting the 2017 DN Western Region regatta. They have posted their photo set on Flickr and are encouraging us to download and use as we like.
“My wife and a I had a great time Saturday and Sunday Jan. 7-8 watching the DNs race on Lake Monona and taking a few photos. I’ve put 26 photos up in a album on my Flickr page, here is the link:

Possibly somebody will enjoy a picture of themselves; the images are full-resolution and free to download with my compliments. Managed to catch both champions including #183 with quite a bit of air under one of his blades.
Thank you, we met some nice people and enjoyed being spectators.”
