The Moment Of Impact
A little wave crashes into the rocks at Shark Alley, Newcastle Beach. I liked the textures and natural forms of the rocks and the beach was looking so clean and perfect on one of the first days of Winter.

Thanks Lindsay ! I spent so much time over the years surfing at these places so it feels different to notice the magic of them while clicking away and staying dry. :-)
