Vicki-Louise White, GoldenSands (SEASCAPE 2023)

Golden Sands was shot at the beach near where I grew up. The nights like these are what keeps the seascape photographers going. A bright sunset, a gentle summer breeze in the evening and the ocean creating moments for us to capture and enjoy forever. Marmion Marine Park is full of marine life, underwater caves and ledges. Those that swim here know Shirley the Stingray who does a run down the coast every day. Occasionally, on the extra hot days a black swan will surf the waves. The reef here disappears in the summer and the white beach sand sweeps in to sprinkle the beach with summer vibes. I love sitting here watching the setting sun touch the clouds in the evening. The Whadjuk and Yuat people are the traditional owners of Marmion Marine Park.
