22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Smoldering Sunrise

I captured this image at sunrise in The Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. It was June, when they typically do controlled burns in the park to protect the wildlife and landscape from large wildfires. They had done a controlled burn the day before and it was still smoldering in the background as I was leaving on a game drive at dawn.
