I love, love, love this photo by Kate Owen! It recently garnered first place in the fine art category of American Photo’s GoPro Competition.

I love the carefree summer scene, the lightness, the perfect balance between golden tones and blue sky, and especially the 70’s-style theme and photo processing of the image that still somehow manages to look classic.

If I was the gal in the image, it would be awesome… because that would mean that I would be on a great feel-the-wind-in-your-hair road trip with friends, relaxing, eating Popsicles, and listening to the Beach Boys and Will Smith on my iPod Summer Mix.

What kind of summer fun do you think of when you look at this photo?
