23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sunset in the salt lake
This photograph was taken at sunset on the shores of Lake Tuz (Fuz Gölü). As the sun slowly descended toward the horizon, its warm golden light spread across the perfectly still water, creating a shimmering path that felt almost unreal. In that quiet moment, the lake became a mirror — reflecting not only the sky but also a sense of calm and stillness within me. The glowing trail of light on the water felt like a bridge between the day and the night, a reminder of how simple moments in nature can touch us deeply.
