20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
A castle on the hill

Lying hidden within the yellow leaves of an almost-enchanting forest in West Virigina, this little lone spire on a hill--once used as a well house--was practically begging for someone to capture it's charm on camera. Centering the stone building among the vibrant fallen foliage was all it took to create a scene that could only be described as "fit for a fairytale."
