Original – The image depicts the bow of King Philip shipwreck at Ocean Beach, San Francisco as it was seen April 8,2011. The shipwreck that is usually completely buried by the sand makes it reappearance around every 20 years after the sand gets shifted by big winter storms. The shipwreck is seen only in an extremely low tide. A little bit more than a month after the nominated image was photographed, the sand shifted once again revealing the best view of the stern of the shipwreck while hiding the bow.
