Barbara Sparhawk, 10 months ago

Just gorgeous. Like everything in the world shouting halelujah at once. Artists see something beautiful and defy vertigo and insanity and the impulse to run by racing toward it, screaming: Hit me! Fill me up! More! More! More! til you pass out. I thank you for the stalwart heart that kept you looking, and bringing it all back home. It’s almost like standing there in person for this viewer. Wonderful photograph.

I can just image the fun you would have had! A bbq on this beach is surely one of life’s best treats. We did go across to Pulu Maria…awesome fish. You should book your ticket back – hahaa!
