19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World

Found this beautiful lone tree standing tall. Spiti, where the image was shot, is known to be a cold desert area and trees are not very common. What amazed me most is the audacity of the tree to stand tall against all odds in such harsh weather which ranges as low as negative 35 in winters.
