Marooned
A shell on a Surfers Paradise sand dune at sunrise. The shell is a prop I use in several photos. I’m fortunate to live just a few minutes away from this beach which is a huge tourist destination on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.

This is gorgeous! I’m loving this prop of yours! Beautiful serene feel to this, quiet and warm. Hard to believe the busy vibe of Surfers is close by :))

Thanks Lou. It’s my favourite too. I nearly cried when I broke a bit of it, but hubby saved the day with superglue.:)

Love the rule-of-thirds and the absolute simplicity. Beautiful!
Ann Van Breemen replied
Thank you Adam. I’ve tried it again since with more clouds in the sky for a more dramatic sunrise but it just doesn’t work as well. In this case I think “Less was definitely more”.:)
