22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sunset, Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Arizona, USA

This photo was taken during an exhilarating journey through the canyons and national parks of Arizona. The sunset at Horseshoe Bend was unforgettable. The wind was so strong it nearly blew my tripod away, and the area was crowded with people, making it a challenge to find the perfect spot for shooting. I waited over an hour for that magical moment to arrive, then took multiple shots to create a panorama and capture every detail of this breathtaking scene. It was a test of patience, but the result was worth it.
