Under the shade of trees growing along the sea side walk at Sandgate, Moreton Bay is on the horizon, and a blue, sunny sky. #saltywave #visualstoryteller #exploremore 📷 Gabrielle Ahern
A seaside park, from a shaded area where trees line the footpath. Moreton Bay lies on the horizon, edging the blue sky like a line. The branches of the trees are all knotted together letting small patches of sunlight through, then there is the full on effect of the sun rays, very bright, beyond this leafy shaded place 📷 Gabrielle Ahern

Branches of trees with lots of green leaves create an interesting natural matrix. The photographer is looking up into the tree canopy above her during a walk with her dog, where the branches of trees appear to meet and mesh together.
