On the beach | Nantucket I’ve always found this photo to have an interesting point of view - one that draws me in to look a little longer. 

It was taken by my wife while she was reclining on a lounge chair on the beach near the Brant Point Lighthouse in Nantucket. That’s me on the left, taking care not to step on the sharp edges of small stones and sea shells.
