The story behind this image

A rare warm sunny day on Ireland's west coast found my wife Liz and I enjoying a walk along the Atlantic seashore at Kilkee, a beautiful and unspoilt little town in County Clare, just at the start of the Loop Head peninsula.

Of course, I had my camera with me, taking photos of the various patterns of breaking waves against the golden sand as we walked along.

This image was the best of the bunch, with strong diagonal lines from the surf and sand patterns adding structure and tension to the composition.
