Upon bronze Shores, By sunlight

As the day folds into shadow, the sun finds the sand and turns the shore to bronze while scattering gold across the water and the shore. While the sea fades into a cool, quiet darkness. against the vast ocean of the tide .
I waited at the shoreline for this capture. As The sun sank by the second and the water never held the same light capturing the exact glow the bronze that scattered the golden light of the wave. A fleeting momen that lasted no longer than ones breath. With only gentle shifts in saturation, contrast, and color, I drew out the intensity of the feeling I held in that instant of the warmth of the sunlight crashing upon the shore in soft waves refusing to be swallowed by the darkness of the night sky. I hope this photo lets you step into that moment and stay as long as you wish, in a place where time does not exist. There is something hopeful in the way light gathers on the shore even as night arrives proof that both warmth and beauty can be found in our darkest hours, and that a single glow of sunlight can always brighten our days and our lives. May it remind us that no matter how deep the shadow, light always finds a place to land in our minds and in our hearts.- Nicole Martinelli
