23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel

A stone path leading toward the mountains, covered in fallen leaves. The sunrise poured through the trees, filling the scene with warmth and natural sun flare — a quiet, peaceful moment that felt like walking straight into a perfect fall morning in the White Mountains.
