20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The rising sun seen from the interior of a sea cave
This particular sea cave is only accessible for a short period of time on either side of high tide, so it took some planning to be there at the right time on a clear day. I was in place well before sunrise (a slippery hike in the dark!) waiting for the big moment when I suddenly heard a deep and thunderous horn. Coming from the right was a massive cruise ship! It wound up being a contest between the rising of the sun and the photobombing of a cruise ship. The sun won - but just barely!
