21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Beautiful View at Horseshoe Bend

With the dramatic clash of the blue sky on the left and the dark clouds on the right, complemented by the aura that they send over the bend this picture is a gem. Most go to Horseshoe Bend for the famous view of the horseshoe shaped riverbend located at the bottom of the crater but many obliviously walk by the beauty of the crater itself.
