Sweeping landscapes reign supreme in entries from finalists

Aether Apparel, the LA-based purveyors of tech outdoor gear, seem to have a thing for epic, inspirational landscape photos. A quick trip to their site confirms this to be the case. The finalists from the company's Summer Photo Contest, in which photographers were invited to submit photos of summer adventure for a chance to win a bunch of travel essentials, mine much of the same territory, and they have us dreaming of hitting the Great Outdoors for some much-needed adventure. 

Head over to the Aether Facebook Page to Like your favorites. The picture with the most Likes by midnight on August 1st wins the grand prize: a fully loaded Aether Travel bag.
