Avalon is such a stunning beach! There are so many composition options and if you spend the morning from early there you will definetely see some sights. From this sunrise shoot I saw an amazing saturated sunrise, then some dolphins, then a more demure color flow here. So pretty, you should check it out! #Goldenhour #whatshot #beautiful #Australia
