18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Tree Silhouette at Sunset

I spotted this uniquely shaped tree when my friends took us up to see the sunset at Donner Pass. I was intrigued by the uniformity on the left side, and the missing branches on the right. As the sun was setting, I took advantage of the contrasted sky for the silhouette effect.
