Underwater Wonderland

“You don’t need to travel far from cities to visit Narnia,” Your Shot member Tracey Jennings reminds us. This underwater photograph of a seven-gill shark may look like it’s from a mystical world, but it was taken in the kelp forests off the coast of Simon’s Town, South Africa, not far from Cape Town.
