19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Play of Light

It is so amazing that light can make or break a subject in photography. This is a simple landscape that is naturally turned into a stunning visual by just a play of light. In the background, you can see Bear Butt Mountain ( Mato Paha ). The sacred mountain of Native Americans. They still perform their traditional ceremonies there.
