22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Elephant Oasis in Infrared
This infrared 550nm image captures a strikingly surreal scene at a waterhole in Etosha National Park, Namibia. At the center is a large tree rendered in vibrant pink tones, under which an elephant takes refuge from the sun. The surrounding landscape reveals a gathering of wildlife, including antelope species such as springboks and oryx, all drawn to the waterhole. Infrared photography transforms this arid African environment into a dreamlike tableau, highlighting the interplay between life and the harsh terrain of Etosha.
