Ocean View - beeswax aceo

It's early morning, perhaps early evening, and there's a vague pinkish tinge to the sky that casts a romantic glow over the whole landscape. You're sitting on the edge of a cliff surrounded by dense scrubby foliage and listening to the shush of the ocean far below. The surface of the water is ruffled by a gentle breeze. It's a moment of peace, stolen from the busy clamour of everyday life, and just for now you feel that everything is right in your world.
