23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The dragonlake
Photographed in the mountains of Epirus, Greece, this image captures the calm geometry of an alpine lake formed naturally in a high plateau. I aimed to preserve the scene’s quiet, sculptural presence — the pale light, the subtle textures, and the sense of isolation that makes the landscape feel almost otherworldly.
