Description


A seagull flies gracefully into the rays of light… as they radiate out from a distant sunset. The setting sun softly slips below the horizon… out beyond the headlands. Water from small streams flow quietly across the sandy beach… on final approach after a long journey. Such a tranquil ending!

In memory of Brian Scully
April 24, 1953 – August 24, 2012.
