20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
City Sunflower
I was walking home from work one day and discovered this sunflower plant growing seemingly out of nowhere. It was just so striking to me. Somehow a seed found its way into the tiniest space between where a parking lot meets a brick wall, and it began to grow. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and was a magical experience for me, interacting with that plant. I'll never forget it.
