A riot of colour at North Head Beach, Australia - sunset over Rhettman Point. by Jiri Viehmann

A warm evening descends over North Head Beach on the east coast of Australia. The sun is low, about to touch the horizon behind Rhettman Point. With each passing moment, the colours intensify, as if the sky itself is glowing. Orange, gold, purple and soft shades of pink flow into each other and spread across the coast like a quiet riot of colour.

The view to Rhettman Point shows a coastline that appears almost soft in the evening light. The rocks there bear deep grooves moulded by time, which slowly fill with the incoming tide. The sea pushes calmly into these small pools, and the water in them is transformed into gleaming mirrors. Each of these natural water frames captures a different shade of sky. Some glow a vibrant orange, others shimmer violet or cool into the deeper blue of the approaching evening.

The rocks themselves look like old lines in a painting. Their edges and shapes stand out more clearly in the oblique light, revealing layers, traces and patterns that have been etched into the coastline over a long period of time. Together with the quiet play of colours, this scenery creates a moment that feels like a breath between day and night - powerful, peaceful and full of natural beauty.
