15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Horshoe Bend

I was incredibly lucky to capture this beautiful moment on my first visit to Horseshoe Bend last fall. I sat in the same spot for hours perched hundreds of feet above the water below. All I needed was one moment where the light was perfect. That moment came just as the sun was getting ready to set over the horizon.
