23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Drone/Aerial
Ocean, Waves and a Rocky Beach

I was on a high cable car - one of the longest ones over the ocean. This is where I spotted this amazing scenery below and the perspective was exactly like that of a drone or aerial shot since I was quite high in the cable car. What attracted me to this frame was the turquoise ocean water, the way the waves were moving, and the contrast of the rocky beach.
