19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A peaceful time in the forest
I was out photographing the wild horses in Northern Arizona, and this scene just presented itself to me and it looked so peaceful I had to take a photo. We need to help spread awareness of the wild mustangs, they are being rounded up, and either held in pens for the duration of their life, or are being taken to slaughter. There are 50,000 horses in holding across the country and this needs to stop so the horses can run free the way they have for hundreds of years.
