21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The last show before Winter.

A single tree, right on the edge of the tree line, is bathed by the last rays of sunlight. Standing resilient amidst the vast expanse of the Swedish arctic, it will soon shed its last leaves and endure the harsh, long winter. Taken in mid-September, the autumn colours were bursting and covered the entire landscape in a golden canvas.
