23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Edge of serenity

Perched on the brink of a dramatic alpine ridge, this solitary mountain hut stands bathed in the soft golden light of sunset. Captured in the remote highlands, the image conveys a sense of isolation, tranquility, and the vast majesty of nature, where human presence feels both humble and harmonious within the grand design of the mountains.
