Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
You’ve seen it from the front. You’ve seen it from afar. Now… the view from the beach. This vantage of the lighthouse was something that I only noticed on my way back to the car park after shooting the the tide coming in across the beach shoreline. After I spent 30 minutes on the shore,...
