20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Little Birch Tree

I worked as a Photographer guide for the Auroras in Tromso, and this night I went to a place relatively close to town, around 45 minutes driving. On the way on the road, I passed through a beautiful scenery and decided to stop and luckily the lights decided to show ! I noticed this baby birch tree and decided to focus on it and I was unbelivebly lucky that one of the shots the lights were above it almost looking like they were protecting it !
