22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sailing Under the Arctic Sky
This photo captures my favorite moment from sailing in Greenland's icy waters—a seemingly endless sunset that paints the sky in an evolving palette of colors. In this shot, the gradient from purple to orange feels almost like a Rothko painting, with the vivid red sailboat drifting peacefully near a towering iceberg. The scene, surreal yet serene, evokes a sense of calm and timelessness, as if drawn from a dream. The contrast of the vibrant boat against the soft hues and the massive iceberg adds to the tranquility, inviting viewers to linger in this peaceful Arctic landscape.
