Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done." - Nick Drake
Another one from Sunset Beach on Saturday evening.

This is quite amazing. I started at the top and couldnt wait to see what came next, and it delighted me all the way down! You have captured an afternoon stroll along sunset beach - any sunset beach. I think you are a budding photographic Norman Rockwell.

@Jaynee: Thank you so much.

Tracey from Baltimore, United States

Very nice Graham! Even though I can't see them smiling, I can feel them smiling. Isn't that the highest compliment for a photographer? The duty of a picture,in my opinion, is to convey a strong feeling. And that is what you have done here.

I can practically hear the waves, and that's an accomplishment since I'm currently in a room full of computers! Nice and relaxing. Thanks.

Another beautiful shot, Graham. Love the colors of the water...what a wonderful scene. Here I've been anxiously waiting for Spring, and now you've got me longing for Summer. ;) Great job!

Another delightful image in this series, Graham. Although the composition has a pleasing balance as it is, I could also imagine it without the people in the lower left corner, either by having them cloned out or cropping partially and then cloning out the man's head. Fine as it is, then, as this is just a thought.
