Zac Smith, One person and there shadow. (SEASCAPE 2026)

The drone hovered directly above the shoreline, and I looked straight down, the lens capturing a stunning contrast: golden sand swept smooth by the wind, glowing like molten acrylic paint beneath the morning sun. Each ripple and grain cast long, delicate shadows, sculpted by the westerly breeze. The sand looked as though it had been brushed by an artist, not shaped by wind and time. A single Person and there Shadow strolled along the sand below me. It cast a sharp, unmistakable shadow on the sand.
