Dawn's First Surge

On the late summer morning of August 10, 2025, the Atlantic stirred to life at Vilano Beach. A cresting wave, caught in the day’s first light, rose with force before collapsing into spray, its brilliance illuminating the timeless rhythm of sea and sky. This photograph holds both the raw energy of a single moment and the enduring spirit of the ocean, bringing the vitality of a new day into any space.
