22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Beacon of Dawn in Portland Maine

This image was photographed while visiting Portland Maine. In the early morning light. The photo captures a lighthouse standing tall against the soft hues of a sunrise over the sea. The sky is painted shades of pink and blue casting a warm glow that reflects gently on the waters surface. The lighthouse by early light, serves as a steadfast guardian overlooking the calm, endless horizon. Gently waves lap against the rocky shoreline, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere of dawn. The scene embodies tranquility and strength, as the lighthouse and sea embrace the promise of a new day.
