22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Curves of Trees in the Fog

Amidst the serene winter landscape of Shan State, Myanmar, this photograph captures the mystical beauty of trees shrouded in dense fog. Their elegant curves emerge softly through the veil, creating a surreal environment where form and shadow interplay harmoniously. The fog blurs the boundaries between the trees and the surrounding space, lending a dreamlike quality to the scene. It’s a fleeting moment in the heart of winter, where the natural world feels both mysterious and meditative.
