23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Snowflake
Nestled in a forest in Budapest, Hungary, a tawny owl rests peacefully in the hollow of an old tree as gentle snow falls around it. The owl’s feathers blend seamlessly with the texture of the tree bark, while the snowflakes create a magical and tranquil atmosphere.
