Uploaded: July 07, 2011
A crescent moon over the reef rocks during sunset, with a flock of seagulls frolicking in the sky and two people silhouetted as they walked along the foredune. It was one of those special times when several elements all came together at the right time and place. (Port Orford, Oregon, USA)
