Interesting Sand Castle at Red Rocks Beach

by Kristi Hines on September 29, 2011

I have seen many sand castles in my lifetime, and even created a few simple ones (we’re talking back in the 80′s with the little pails that came with happy meals from McDonalds). But that’s beside the point. This sand castle was more than just someone shaping the sand. They managed to collect all of the random, unique, and beautiful items from the beach and put them together to create a little castle wonderland.

The Waves

by Kristi Hines on May 11, 2011

Today’s shot is one I consider a bit abstract in the sense that there isn’t a lot of “reference” to the overall scene and location. It was taken near the London Bridge along the Great Ocean Road in Australia. You couldn’t actually get to the beach, which is probably why it was so pristine and beautiful. I just loved watching the waves rush onto the beach.

Seashell Treasure Chest at the Beach

by Kristi Hines on February 10, 2011

One of the things I enjoy when going to the beach is collecting seashells. While walking along one of the beaches down the Great Ocean Road, I walked through a rocky area where there were these holes filled with water, seaweed-like stuff, rocks, and of course, some awesome seashells. This one is a particularly colorful one that I wanted to capture and remember. I now have one of the shells out of it in my collection.
