Idaho: Where Friday Night Lights Meet Nature

Photographer's Statement:

This photo shows the connection between nature and school life, with a tall pine tree standing beside our football scoreboard. It captures the beauty of spring and reminds us that even in urban spaces, trees are always growing and changing with the seasons. To me, it represents how Idaho’s forests—whether wild or within our communities—are full of life and transformation.
