Rays of god

Rays of god

It must have been one of my most pleasant photographic evenings I have ever had.
I was constantly roaming around the area, finding new locations while the sun and the clouds where just creating lovely combinations.
I stood at this beach, a crowded summer beach but empty and lonely at the time of the shooting, waited to find a nice spot and then suddenly the sun and rays where forming what you can see in the shot.
Framed and shot again!
