Oh wow, I love everything about this image, Matt! Soft and gentle (in spite of the bright grass, which I like also
), with very pleasing lines of the shore/water leading to the sailboat as the only evidence of man for miles. Freedom indeed!
Thanks Linda. I walk to and from this beach (Paines Creek Beach) each morning and have taken a b&w series of it in different moods. I had only my iPhone the other morning and it had to serve. Normally, I have the beach to myself in the early morning, but, as it was the start of the holiday weekend and I was a little past my normal schedule, we had some weekend warriors. This was the first time I have seen someone launch from this shore. I watched as he struggled to get the boat through the grass and sand at the bottom left and waited till he got where I wanted him. Another man, a biker, couldn't resist either and took out his phone. A magical morning and moment. I hope he enjoyed his day. I enjoyed his start.
