18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Fireball in the Sky

This was the most magnificent sunset I had ever seen with my own eyes. It was so intense and mesmerizing to look at. This photograph captures the pure essence of the sun; its beauty, its richness, its brilliance, its strength. It almost looked like a fireball in the sky, like the ending of a science fiction film; it almost looked like a miracle was occurring. I believe in miracles. Do you?
