Day 242 - Last Girl on the Beach

A recent shot from our holiday in France - this is my eldest daughter looking down onto a Beach in the Vendee known as Les Dunes just before sunset. It was a beautiful evening and we sat and watched the sun go down.

Sorry if things are a little slow at the moment - I seem to have damaged a tendon in my leg and it's pretty much immobilised me. So no mad, adventurous shots, at least for a few days.

Great shot. I like the symmetry in the crop. I don't know why but it looks like it should be the cover of a good book!

[April]

On the day, we went down to the beach to watch the sun set and for me to get a sunset photo, but this was one of those nice moments where I knew I had the shot even before we got there!
Leg's starting to get better btw after some physio - thanks for the thoughts!

Congrats on the PP, Kev, and glad to hear you are on the mend.
