22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Whispers of the Morning Tide

As the morning sun rises, its golden beams gently kiss the rippled sand left behind by the retreating tide. This peaceful moment captures the delicate patterns formed in the sand, each ripple telling the story of the ocean’s soft retreat. The light glides across the surface, highlighting the beauty of nature’s quiet artistry at low tide. A perfect start to the day, where earth and sea meet the first light of dawn.
