Description This caught me as both picturesque and amusing. . . An amazing sunset at sea - and two people building a line of sand castles down to the water's edge. . . But who were the people with the buckets and spades?. . . Not the kids who were sitting and watching - but two dads who seemed to be racing each other, leap-frogging each other's sandcastles to get to that water. . . Maybe they were trying to race the sunset. . . Or maybe they didn't even notice it.

Cable Beach, Broome.

Broome has the most amazing sunsets. This set-up just knocked me out.

I like all the subjects you caught in this shot instead of just focusing on one thing, the colors are wonderful too.

Its a great moment when you get caught up in something that is still for a child. I use to do that with mine when we would draw on the driveway with chalk. Great shot, great moment!

I can remember building massive starships out of sand for my son to sit in on the beach. He was into Star Wars in a big way. . . It was really just an excuse for a dad to build sand castles.

Most of what we do for our kids is an excuse to be a kid again.

Oh yes, legos are gold, they really are. My kids love how I play video games with them and I'm good at it!

Yep. . . I remember finishing Loderunner (my all time fave game) before either of my kids . . . That's an admission of how ancient I am!

Awesome photo! I love how the line of sandcastles runs out of the corner and down to the sea. The action of the guys mid-construction is great.
The golden sunset is beautiful with the reflection in the wet sand...
...and you even have a picture-postcard style sailboat coming across too!
