23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Essence
Photo taken on the last day of our hike. It was near the beginning of the decent. Afer 4 days we were immersed in the Douro Valley and awestruck at almost every bend in the trail. The shot captures the essence of the valley, the vineyards and of my hiking partners enjoying a last look at a spectacular view.
