19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Chasing light around ancient temples

After a day of learning from a local photographer, we were waiting for the sun to get lower so that we could get our final photos of a temple nearby. As we walked around and through other temples, I was looking the opposite direction of this photo when I turned to see the lighting over the walkways. I realized what I was missing, and captured this shot.
