22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
America The Beautiful

I’m not saying I condone stomping on your brakes to take a photo when everything in nature just happens to line up perfect, but I am saying I’ve done it. In general I try to practice safe landscape photography and always use protection (turn signals), but sometimes the conditions are just too danged good to pass up. The American Bison is an iconic animal in North America, arguably the trademark poster child for the dramatic, sweeping vistas of the American West. Combine a bison with both purple mountains majesty and amber waves of grain? You might just find yourself saluting the picture frame every time you walk by.
