23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Newdawn
During my trip to Cappadocia, I couldn’t sleep one morning, so I stepped out onto the balcony of my room. I pulled out my phone and captured this photo on the spot because I didn’t have my camera with me. This image, which later earned an exhibition award in international competitions, represents a truly magical moment.
