23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Mother Mountain Gorilla
My son and I decided to take a trip to Rwanda where we could hike in the Volcanoes National Park and hopefully see the mountain gorillas. We lucked out when we came across a family that had come down from the Bisoke Mountain. This mother was loving and regal. The entire family seemed so peaceful.
