Amazing! I love how the rust and the green of the ocean compliment each other; and the perpendicular tracks. Just an over-all beautiful picture. (Sorry, I can't exactly express in words how wonderful I truly think it is.)
Great work!

well, I guess that'd be great with just those colours alone, but the tracks add some super bonus to that. Lovely!
Any idea about the origin of those tracks?

Thanks for your comments everyone!
Don't really know the origin or purpose of those tracks, but I guess they were for carrying boats out of the sea or things like that.

Santa Lucia is one of the finest beaches in Cuba, and that part, a few kilometers away from the nearest hotel, almost desertic, was spectacular...

This picture has eventually reached #1 for the day.
