21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Peacock Ballet

I was visiting Prison Island in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The Island is famous for it's giant tortoises, by I was very taken by the beautiful peacocks which were roaming freely. I followed this peacock, hoping it would show off its feathers, but instead took pleasure in its fancy footwork.
