22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Looking Out from the Corridor

While exploring Wuzhen in the afternoon, I stumbled upon a quiet corridor that felt like an untouched path. The golden-hued leaves caught my attention, their warmth contrasting beautifully with the faded tones of the traditional architecture in the background. The scene captured a moment of tranquility, as if all traces of modernity could dissipate, allowing time to flow backward and reconnect with the past.
