21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
In the ethereal embrace of Anamala's misty mountains

The mountains, draped in mystic hues, bear witness to the avian symphony—an orchestrated flight through the veiled corridors of time. The Great Hornbill, a guardian of the misty realms, becomes a living brushstroke against the canvas of the Anamala Tiger reserve, leaving an imprint of wild magic in its wake. The Great Hornbill becomes a fleeting vision—a winged guardian of secrets, an embodiment of the untamed spirit that calls Anamala home. As it disappears into the shrouded heights, the mountains hold their breath, cradling the echoes of its passage, a living legend in the misty embrace of ancient peaks.
