Troy Shiels, Some kind of eternity (January theme: Reflections)

Captured during family holiday on Queensland's Gold Coast where we created memories of sand castle building, shell finding, swimming in the surf, sunrise walks on the beach, the sound of waves at night, warmth and complete relaxation. To paraphrase George Orwell from 'Coming up for air', "It's as if we existed in some kind of eternity, fixed forever in a picture yet somehow alive."
