23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Passage

Beneath the warm terracotta arches of Marrakesh, a lone figure of a woman walks quietly through a narrow passageway. The golden sunlight softens the textured walls, where history, culture, and daily life meet in a single frame. This picture was taken during a summer cultural visit in Marrakesh.
