20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Chiricahua Sunrise

My and my husband are enjoying to check the national parks and national monument for it offers a lot of great things and lots of beauty. So one of the national monument we were into was this Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona. Quite interesting as we head towards the top. It has beautiful turns and twists and ups and downs. Upon reaching the top we encountered storm. We were greeted with very strong wind. Inside the RV i cannot even sleep because it was so strong that really made me think it will bring us down to the cliff. However, at the very early morning I saw this sunrise so I took the moment to capture the beauty.
