Description

The Ancients belived the earth was flat. If you ventured to far out to sea you would fall off the edge of the world. Even today you can stand on the beach and see the edge of the world.

OK, you have an Eagles song going through my head right now. In Terry Pratchett's Discworld there is a edge to the world, and if you go over it, you get to see the giant turtle A'tuin, with four elephants on his back carrying the world, as you expire. But, no worries, there is a circumfence which will catch you and you'll be taken to Krull as a slave and likely get your tongue cut out. But I digress. Beautiful capture! Wonderful color, light and expanse of the ocean out to the edge. The solitary runner is perfect!
