16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Cosmic Meditation
This image captures the serene and introspective atmosphere that accompanies the nearly completely dark skies on a natural wildlife preserve. Shot at the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge, the persistent drone of half-slumbering sandhill cranes filled the air while I sat at the edge of an observation deck and had a friend trigger the shutter on my camera.
