Finalist in the 'Something With Bite 2010' competition

Inspiration is the gentle heat of the sand against your bare legs on a balmy, peaceful summer’s evening.

It is the quiet whispers of the cool,summer air swiftly passing your ears, enticing you to dream and imagine endless possibilities.

Inspiration is watching the waves crash magnificently in the tumbling surf, before they curl and creep towards the shore,
ending in a glistening trickle of ocean that melts into the soft sand.

It is that moment at dusk when the sunset creates a rainbow of glorious, tanned colours that give a dream-like glow to the sky.

Inspiration is the end of the day, when the warmth of the sun and the serene beauty of the scene before you, makes you feel like anything is possible.
