22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunset on the Narrow Neck Plateau

The Narrow Neck Plateau is in the Blue Mountains National Park in New South Wales, Australia. It snakes through this photo from left to right and then left again. In the distance on the left is Mount Solitary. The scene still shows some signs of the Black Summer fires that tore through this area in 2019-20, but in general the vegetation is recovering well.
