16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Color in a Cavern

This is a photo of a rock in the Ruby Falls Cavern. I went for a weekend trip to Chattanooga, and decided to visit the site. There was purple lighting on the rock which immediately caught my eye. Water had accumulated on the rock and people had begun to throw pennies in the water like a fountain. I found it painful that even one-thousand feet underground, humans can manage to litter material items.
