22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A peaceful and tranquil moment captured in the heart of the Karakoram Range.

A magnificent view of the Himalayas illuminated by the golden glow of the setting sun. The peaks stand tall against a backdrop of dramatic clouds, casting long, mysterious shadows across the valley below. A calm river meanders through the scenery, catching the sunlight and evoking a serene, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
