Monday Motivator – Standing Guard

Standing Guard, Bethells Beach (Te Henga)

I love heading out to the mighty west coast beaches (from Auckland) and am always amazed by the ruggedness and beauty of this coastline just within a stones throw of the city.

The possibilities are endless but on this occasion I decided to compose the photograph with the surf-club watch tower in a dominant front-and-centre position. The small figures on either side of the tower are people in the distance enjoying what was a magical sunset.
