21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Illusions of grandeur

I took this image at Dornoch beach in Scotland, it felt somewhat illusionary with the wooden pole appearing to emerge from the sea but then also the beach as well. It suited being photographed in black and white to concentrate one's eyes on the mirage.
