Living in Yzerfontein means I have a blue flag beach within walking distance from my home. During the December holidays it is packed with people, but this shot was taken on 29 May 2012. As winter approaches most of the beachcombers leave and I get to explore the beach by myself. So this is the view that I love: an empty beach at sunset, a receding tide, and just enough light to make the reflections and colour last through the magic of the camera.
