Tonight I headed down to the beach berating myself for not being ready sooner. The sun was setting through patchy cloud and I thought I was missing that golden last 30 minutes of the day. When I arrived the sun had dropped behind cloud but would appear again just on sunset.<\/p>\n
As I readied my camera I noticed a man in a dark hoody standing in the breaking surf intently watching the unfolding sunset. As I watched I was struck by a deep sense of a silent, watchful guardian. A broad shouldered sentinel; sharply defined, motionless and watchful. I imagined it’s patient vigilance, forever on guard and ready to act.<\/p>\n
