Lens on St. Croix: Fishing in the Mist

Mist hanging over the St. Croix River.
Photography as an art form in nature.
Second Place: Activities & Events

Sarah Lilja has an immense passion for nature. Her favorite photos to take include landscape, flowers and anything that buds organically from Earth. When she saw the sun peeking over the bluffs one morning on the St. Croix River, she seized the opportunity to capture the pink sky kissing the fog. Lilja says, “I’m a huge science, plant and outdoor nerd, so when I saw the sky’s brightness that morning, I rushed to capture it.” When this was taken, Lilja was staying at Pine Needles, an artist residency to enhance her artistic abilities.
