21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Reflections of the River on a cloudy day

This photo is about “reflections.” I stood across the river and waited for the sun/clouds to line up creating an almost painting effect. The layers of nature can be mysterious, beautiful and demonstrate how the interplay of everything is like a puzzle. This photo has the shore. Yet, even more astounding are the reflections of the trees, clouds, and water which is a very calm River.
