About the photo
Beach life is not for me. While my family was chilling on Praia do Amado in Algarve, Portugal, I made some scouting around and found a stony beach with the lovely pebbles hidden in the rocks. It looked promising, so I checked the sun position in Sun Surveyor and tide schedule in Tides Charts Near Me and realized there could be a possibility for a sunset photo. When I back there in the evening I wasn't disappointed. Low tide exposed the stone seabed with numerous pools. The soft clouds worked just amazing with the sharp texture of the stones creating together the strong leading lines to the rock.
