“when the sun has set, no candle can replace it.” ― George R.R. Martin
holidays by the beach always afford plentiful photographic opportunities, but there is nothing quite as spectacular as watching the sun slowly set over a beach. these photos were taken over a series of three days and each sunset was as unique as it was beautiful. August 2012
