Description

When I walked out onto the beach and turned west towards the setting sun, I could not believe the quality of light shining down from sky. The Zanac wildfires had turned the sun into the most beautiful golden light I have ever seen and combined with the sea spray created an almost surreal landscape. It was like walking into one of my dreams, a calming voyeuristic scene just begging to be captured. Frozen in time, these people seemed to be walking in an alternate reality. This, I think, are the moments a photographer dreams about.

This is intense! You could not even ask for a more opportune shot- I have never seen anything like this... There are so many ways to interpret this- could be a scene from a post-apocalyptic event, or even a scene from a recently terraformed and humid Mars! Whatever interpretation, it is just unique and amazing.

A dream shot, yes indeed..! I'm certainly gonna dream about this for some time. I don't know how hard it was to capture this, but the result is just fabulous.
