Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays, Queensland – Australia

An endless horizon divides the blissfully azure sky from the equally stunning water, which glistens like an aquamarine gem in the midday sun. As I gaze into the endless sky above me, I ponder the destination of the clouds as they march across the cobalt abyss.

Hill Inlet at Whitehaven Beach of the Whitsunday Islands, Queensland, is a playground for my camera lens. Warm water gently envelops my feet as I slowly spin, capturing the 360 degrees of pure aquatic paradise that surrounds me. I see why the silica sand and blazing blue waters rank this locale among the top ten beaches in the world. I embrace the solitude and feel honored to capture the beauty of this natural paradise.
