Arch of Stone I think this miraculous picture of the Anacapa Arch should win because it simultaneously captures two worlds at once. In this picture I notice waves stirring against rocks and seaweed and kelp swaying unreservedly in the water. I hear water being pushed and pulled around. I also hear a delicate breeze whistling through my ears. I feel like the Arch of stone with waves flowing at my side and seaweed at my feet when I look at this picture. I also experience happiness and calmness when I perceive this picture. Under the water is like an exquisite world that has been unnoticed for a long time. It’s like nobody has ever thought of anything like this before. If this superb picture does not win, I will be disappointed.
