22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Tom and I at sunset, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Arizona

Tom and I at sunset, Monument Valley, Arizona. We are two people merged into one with a single shadow at sunset. We were traveling for the first time to Monument Valley and we wanted to see it at sunset. I was about to sit next to my husband when I decided to take a photo of him looking out on the Monuments. I saw my shadow was on his back and I said to myself, "oh my shadow is on his back . . . and then I thought, why, yes it is!" and I snapped the photo with my iPhone. I love the unique portrait shot of us together with me as the shadow. Susan Scanlon
