Photo Of The Week

A serene beach scene at sunrise, with soft golden light casting shadows across the sand dunes. Weathered wooden fences line the dunes, leading the eye toward the ocean waves in the distance. A tall white lifeguard chair sits empty on the shore, silhouetted against the vibrant sky painted in warm hues of orange, pink, and purple. The tranquil moment captures the quiet beauty of the coast before the day begins.
