21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Red Gondola

In this evocative image, we're transported back in time to the Swiss slopes of Zweisimmen, where a charming hotel stands as a timeless sentinel against the snowy landscape. As if plucked from an earlier era, a crimson gondola glides gracefully above the scene, its vibrant hue a striking contrast against the blue sky. Beneath the gondola's passage, a skilled skier and snowboarder share the slopes, their silhouettes etched against the powdery expanse.
