21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Lagoon of Raiateaa

Flying out of Raiateaa, heading to the main island of Tahiti. Taken through a plane window. It was in the middle part of this photo that we swam with reef sharks and manta rays a few days earlier. It all looks so peaceful and blue from above.
