19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
View on "Trou de le Bombe"

The forceful uprooting motion with which the peak rocks shoot from each direction leaves a sense of strength, struggle, and beauty at the topmost meeting point between earth and skies. Bodies, much like trees, struggle for a firm footing in this terrain and push against the rocks for safe passage. The severe perspective distortion that the landscape evokes invites a sense of an impossible climb against the elements.
