Crashing waves, the sea breeze blowing in your face, the sand in your toes, the salt on your skin, the warm hues of colors in the sky; all topped off by the moon rising in the distance. A perfect evening I must say.

My take on this recent celestial event. The waves crashing on the shore with the moon rising above the horizon after the sun has set. The soft warm colors bathe the clouds in the distance.
