22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Turmoil and Tranquility: Texas Canyon Sunrise

As the dawn broke over Texas Canyon, I was met with a breathtaking spectacle: a fiery red sunrise, juxtaposed against a dramatic canvas of dark clouds. The air was electric with anticipation, as the stormy weather threatened to unleash its fury. This fleeting moment, suspended between turmoil and tranquility, embodies the raw power and beauty of the American wilderness.
