In this image, I was able to express a particular relationship between man and the ocean that defines this nature of this place. It is also an image that can define the relationship of mankind itself to the natural world. The sun, already partially below the horizon, becomes an elliptical shape, banded in vivid colors. The sky and ocean turn dark, and a darker yet silhouette of a surfer gently rides his board towards shore on the calm evening swells. It spoke to me of closure, the end of a day, a final run on the surf, as well as the final image in my photographic story of this place. We are so small, and the universe itself so large.
