23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Golden Hour at Pemaquid Point

This stunning wide-angle photograph captures the rugged coastline of New Harbor, likely near the Pemaquid Point Light, bathed in the warm glow of the golden hour. The low perspective emphasizes the dramatic, striated rock formations in the foreground, which contrast beautifully with a calm tide pool that perfectly mirrors the iconic lighthouse and buildings above. The warm sunlight kisses the rock faces on the right, creating a brilliant golden hue against the clear blue sky, showcasing the serene and wild beauty of the Maine coast.
