Footprints in the Sand-1.jpgA short story of serendipity for my fellow Steeminans to start your weekend off.

I was up early to catch a sunrise at the tip of Inch Beach, a sand-spit in County Kerry, Ireland. Despite its name, it's actually quite a big beach, with the largest dune system in Ireland and a stronghold of the endangered Natterjack Toad. Being the naive eejit that I am, I left the car near the entrance to the beach and walked to the end looking for a composition. I was left dissappointed because of the cloud cover so I walked back towards my car by the edge of the water. I suddenly saw the sun breaking through the cloud and illuminating the beach, so I started shooting. Then, as I was searching for a composition to show off what a light-show I was experiencing, I noticed the footprints that I had left behind on my way to the end of the beach. I had inadvertently left a slightly sinuous leading line towards the break of dawn. Pure luck.

Have a great weekend, folks!
