22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunset on the lake

I took this photo while paragliding. This photo was taken from an altitude of 3,000 meters above Maharlu Lake in Shiraz, Iran. Thousands of flamingos migrate to this lake every year. The sun was setting and I saw this scene from the sky and captured it with my camera.
