17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park

Reflections of clouds and mountains merging with the striations in the ground in a pool across from the Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park. I stood there for a while clicking away as I realized that it was a unique moment to capture an almost unreal scene, which as I found out during my entire trip in Yellowstone are actually quite common. It is just a unique, almost other-worldly, place.
