I am so fortunate that we live near the beach and I get to drive along it every day.
I don't however spend anywhere near enough time actually down on the sand or even better still actually in the water!! Plans are afoot to rectify this but in the meantime here is an image I took yesterday from the sand in front of Joe's Kiosk at Henley Beach looking north. I loved the dramatic early morning sky so I have used HDR to really bring this out.
