19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A night at horseshoe bend

Its always a challenge to present a landscape in a unique way, and it's much harder for a place as heavily photographed as this one. Having said that, it is indeed a breathtaking place worth all its hype. We watched sunset with about 300 other people, decided to stay there till the stars show up. Eventually we had this whole place to ourselves. It was one of the most surreal experiences to be there just by ourselves and look at this epic landscape shine under the stars.
