22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Palms in Winter

In the heart of Hpa-An, Myanmar, the winter morning unveils a tranquil scene of palm trees silhouetted against a blanket of soft fog. Their towering forms create a rhythmic pattern, standing tall amidst the muted landscape. The mist gently diffuses the light, softening the edges and casting an ethereal glow over the scenery. This quiet moment captures the serene beauty of winter in the tropics, where the palm trees become delicate brushstrokes in nature’s artwork.
