22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Through the Looking Glass

A solitary bison grazes in the fading light, its silhouette framed by the trees surrounding it. The reflection of the trees through the car window in the foreground adds a layer of symmetry and depth, merging the wild with the human-made. This moment captures the quiet resilience of nature in the heart of America’s vast landscapes.
