All to ourselves.

The rolling waves look misty, with a long exposure by moonlight.

Rocks rolled like marbles in storms, are rearranged for every visit.

The Fisherman’s Hut

Just along the beach from Beruwela, we came across this many-coloured scene.

Cirrus clouds soften the midday sun.

The light fantastic.
