14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Organized Conch Shells

This photo was taken at Dry Tortugas during my walk along the beach. The island is very small but it actually took us about 45 minutes to get to the furthest accessible end, where we happened to find some conch shells that had climbed their way up onto this washed up branch (with some help from the island's visitors).
