ENDLESS SUMMER

It was the beginning of winter, but the warmth still lingered. The crowds had thinned, the energy had softened—the calm after the long summer rush. I remember this day like it was yesterday. I stood there, just appreciating the moment, as if it were me walking back from a great session. That feeling of contentment, of salt on your skin, of knowing everything feels right. This guy was no different. Laid-back, smiling, just another surfer ending his session.

Like every Aussie, he stopped for a chat—a good one, the kind that makes you feel at home. I clicked the shutter. A simple moment, an endless feeling.
