Honorable Mention
Bliss
DESCRIPTION
On a trip to California, I was hiking to Little Yosemite Valley. At the first waterfall, I helped a couple take a picture, didn't think much of it and the couple moved on. I was rewarded later in the hike when they called to me from off-trail, near the second waterfall; "it's the most beautiful scene we've ever seen", they told me. As the waterfall came into view, I was amazed by the purity of the landscape in front of me and I had to agree with them. As I was taking the picture, one feeling was swelling up inside me: pure bliss.
