23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Ship and the Sea
As the tide recedes, a solitary little boat rests quietly on the sandy shore. Bathed in moonlight, beams of radiance illuminate it, creating a harmonious interplay between the vessel and the glow—a trinity of sea, light, and shadow. It is as if the boat and the ocean are engaged in a silent, lonely dialogue.
