22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Blessing light

I was staying in a remote village in Azores which located on a old stretch of lava, making it right next to a very high, full of green, sort of cliffs. The sun sets behind such cliffs, making that, in the late afternoon, the whole location stops to get sun quite early. Due to the humidity of the place, it created this very light fog where the sun was reflecting on before it went behind the cliffs. Its just a very beautifull and angelic like scenery.
