14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
That Light is Beautiful on Your Mother.

This photo illustrates that last kiss of sunlight at the end of the day. As a climber descends down the mountain the rocks rip color from the shadows. Appropriately named "your mother," Its not always about reaching the top and this photo can tell several stories. A relaxing repel or a terrifying fall. But lets be honest, its the light kissing the rocks that tells the real story.
