At the end of the seventh day.

"On the seventh day God rested."

 

This shot was taken as a Saturday drew to its close on Greens Beach in northern Tasmania. I liked the way the sun highlighted the black stones on the beach. The Low Head Lighthouse is in the distance.

 

My title also has in mind a great book of photographs by Michael Kenna, "Images of the Seventh Day". Not that this photograph has anything directly to do with Kenna's work (he works in medium format, usually on film, and only in monochrome). But I'm more than happy to promote this collection of photographs as Kenna is a superb landscape photographer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzCjFfuYXWE

 

As I was working on this photograph I was also playing one of my favourite modern composers, Ludovico Einaudi. To listen to Einaudi clears the mind - completely. So you may like to have a listen to this little piece as well. It is called "Night" and is quite fitting for the evening of the seventh day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJZAuMEHmSI
