I was shooting the sunset as a child came towards me, bearing a garland of kelp taken from the sea. Later, when I studied the image on my computer, I was stunned to see that the sunset is illuminating the kelp, just as it is also reflected in the wet sand amidst the seaweed in the foreground. The child is small, the setting sun very large. He emerges from the sea, just as mankind itself once did. The glowing garland he bears could symbolize the gift of life itself.
