15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Girl Meets Nature

There is no big moment behind this picture. We had just arrived at a village where we would spend the weekend, me and my family. The sun was going down, and the sky had these beautiful colors that we could not see in the city. My sister just stood there, facing the sunset, waiting for my aunt to arrive, looking at the trees. There is a beauty in this peaceful moments, something that just nature provides us. We just have to stop and look at it.
