Wild beach in golden light, Western Australia

August 2025

Gentle waves on pristine white sand bathed in warm golden light, with ochre hills in the background.

A wild beach stretches along the coast of Western Australia, far from any developed area, bathed in golden late-day light. This coastline remains largely uninhabited over long stretches, often reachable only by an unpaved track. Photographed by drone (4 mm, f/1.6) at dusk, the image captures the contrast between the pale sand, the waves breaking on the shore, and the hills bordering the beach, a moment when the low light lasts only a few minutes.
