Heartrest

Heartrest

Heartrest in the curve

of a broken shell and

the vanishing point

of beach and ocean.

Photo description: The weathered skeleton of an uprooted casuarina tree lies across golden sand. In the background, a line of pale dunes and a mound of natural forest abut the estuary mouth. A distant line of surf breaks beneath a vast blue sky, streaked with feathery cloud.
