15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A tall pine in the middle of Wall Street Gorge, Bryce Canyon.

As you hike down the switchbacks of Wall Street Gorge, you feel overpowered by the immense canyon walls. At the bottom of Wall Street is a narrow opening, which lends itself to the canyon’s floor. Standing tall in the opening was this beautiful pine tree. The sight of the tree gave a sense of clarity after feeling overshadowed by the tall walls of the gorge.
