17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Desolation

We'd climbed to the top of the Terraces Mammoth Hot Springs when the sky started to look very threatening...as we hurried down the hill to the car, I noticed these dead trees leaning at all angles...and with the sun low in the sky, there was an eerie red glow. The rest of the group went on to the car while I grabbed a couple, hand held shots.
