21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Trash amidst beauty

Early in the morning in Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India, in 2021, I spotted this abandoned car and its garage (maybe) just outside the place where I was staying before heading to Key Monastery. I actually went outside to feel the fresh, chilly morning in winter, and I witnessed this trash amidst beauty, hence the title.
