14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Dolphins along the Los Angeles coast

I took this photo while on a whale watching tour based out of Marina del Rey, California. Dolphins are incredibly friendly and our boat was swarmed by a pod. Whereas lots of wildlife would rather flee in the opposite direction (understandably), the dolphins swam alongside and under the boat.
