Photographer's Statement:

I chose this photo because it is a widescale view of the Boise National Forest. It also shows that a younger generation is intrigued by nature’s beauty. Summer days like these in Idaho are long and filled with so many outdoor adventures. These days bring inspiration to do better and learn more about our planet. Kids and adults are more conscientious now and they want to strive to protect our world for future generations.
