Queensland, AustraliaLiving on the beach at Holloways affords me the luxury of awakening to a spectacular painted sky every morning. I never tire of it, and love to capture the different moods of its beguiling backdrop. I lay down on the sand and framed this shell in the foreground as the dawn show intensified.
