Early Morning at Basswood Farm
Location: Brentwood, Williamson County
Photographer (both):
Emily Murphy, Franklin, TN
10th grade, Independence High School,
Thompson's Station
Photographer's statement:
In 2008, Basswood Farm entered into a permanent agreement with The Land Trust for Tennessee, assuring that it will be protected for generations. Owner Brenda Bass was kind enough to allow me to visit the farm. I wanted to take pictures that would motivate someone to support land conservation. All around this area more and more land is being developed. I hate to see fields full of animals that I have grown up looking at suddenly disappear.
I arrived at 5 a.m. to be able to take advantage of the morning light. There was a lot of mist still over the farm, especially over the pond. The pre-dawn light is still over the hills, but the sun is just starting to light up the foreground. I love the reflection!The horse followed me around the upper farm. Basswood is a horse farm on a beautiful country road next to Owl’s Hill Nature Center. The horses are strolling around the fields and there is nothing more beautiful.

Natchez Trace Overlook
Location: Middle Tennessee
Photographer:
Katy Lane, Spring Hill, TN
12th grade

Photographer's statement:
Natchez Trace, the first road in Tennessee to be named a National Scenic Byway, is one of my personal favorite spots in Tennessee. There are so many wonderful landscapes to see. Watching sunsets over the hills is easily the best thing ever.
