Broomes Cable Beach is renowned for huge tidal variations. With each high tide, all signs of humanity are erased, creating a fresh canvas and the fine sand compacts to offer mirror-like reflections as waves wash over it. After shooting the famous camels on Cable Beach, I thought my day was over. But as we were about to pack up, suddenly the sunset delivered another glorious crowning of colour. My assistant and I were in awe. Thinking no one would appreciate the enormity of this scene without something to give scale or perspective, I asked my assistant to run into the shot and just stand there. Scenes like this inspire great hope in me. Even in the face of lifes many stresses and concerns, all is well when you see something so awe-inspiring. What a treat to finish the day with this glorious light painting.
