Sunset by Carol Van Handel near Townsend, WI.
Photo by Jason Stuempges, '09, Jason Ray Photography, on Sveum Ridge Road just outside Coon Valley, WI. It's often referred to as Haugen Hill, after the Haugen brothers who occupied the house and land. "I chose this photo because I was born and raised in Coon Valley, and the hills surrounding the town will always be home to me."
Photos by retired photography Professor Roger Grant. Top, Blue Bridges in Gold, La Crosse. “For a brief window around the summer solstice, the sun sets in the northwest, casting a golden glow on the iconic blue bridges,” he says. “The effect is so unusual and striking that it prompted a visit with my camera during the few minutes of opportunity.” Bottom, Bridges and Yellow Boathouse, Foggy Morning. “The Mississippi River bridges are the subject again — this time from the other side of the river during a fall morning as fog was lifting,” he says. “Fog is a beautiful atmospheric that simplifies compositions and creates a unique mood.”
