A few of my photographs of Downings and the wonderful beach there. Please excuse me for playing about with the video effects but I did enjoy doing so! I could spend many an hour on that beach; observing the changing moods of the weather and passing seasons. I also imagine it would be an amazing place to lay down and watch the stars on a moonlit night.
