Between Tides
I lived near this stretch of the Central Coast for a couple of years, and the excitement of being in Australia got me out of bed for almost every sunrise. This area changes constantly throughout the day as the tides reshape the sand and the light shifts, so I kept coming back, waiting for the right combination. On this morning, everything came together — no wind, a beautiful sky, and the tidal pool sitting perfectly still.
The sand bank curves from the foreground toward the setting sun, and the water mirrors the sky so cleanly that there's a bright orange cloud in the reflection that you can't even see above — the frame couldn't hold it all. These beaches are rarely crowded, and at sunrise you have the entire place to yourself.
