22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Little Long Pond, Midsummer

Near Acadia National Park is this small, private preserve that hasn't quite been discovered by crowds yet and where I've taken my dogs for twenty years. It's hard to say how many times I've captured versions of this shot, but few are as dramatic as the light and clouds that day.
