Where Are You Going?

One day my sister and I were walking along the shoreline when the idea came to me to create this photo. I believe this picture signifies complete peacefulness, serenity and calmness.You can tell that a person is trying to escape the cares of this world, with a walk on the beach. We may feel as if we are all alone, scared and insecure. We may feel like people are pulling us under, like everything is changing so rapidly we can not grasp it. Confusing as our world today is, I believe this picture portrays the confusion perfectly by the crooked and "confused" footprints in the sand. Maybe the person who came to the beach for peacefulness, also found a great secret. The secret that the ocean will never change, it will always ebb and flow, turn and twist and hold precious creatures; and although we may drift away like the footprints on the shore the ocean stays the same forever and ever. The ocean will always be a sense of security and peacefulness and beauty. No two grains of sand are alike, just as no two fingerprints, strands of hair, D.N.A or footprints are alike. Maybe the person on the beach just realized that although everything can seem confusing, he is beautifully and wonderfully made with a set of footprints that no one else has.n were adjusted. The Photoshop dry brush filter was then applied.
