23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Great Crossing
A view of the Niger River captured through the window of a speeding bus. While the massive steel bridge connects the regions of Nigeria above, a quieter, traditional life continues below on the water. Fishermen in wooden canoes navigate the currents, contrasting the speed of modern transit with the timeless rhythm of the river that sustains the local economy.
