Award-winning image showcases beauty along country roads.
Stillwater photographer Vanessa Christensen was heading back from the beach with her family when she came across a view so picturesque she had to pull over. “The water was like glass and reflected, like a mirror, the beautiful surrounding green landscape and clear blue sky,” Christensen says. “I pushed myself to experiment with something new (in this case abstract photography), which can be intimidating at first. I ended up loving the freedom and creativity!” Christensen’s work has been featured at the Stillwater Art Guild Gallery and Hallberg Center for the Arts in Wyoming, Minnesota.
