“One of the great things about exploring is that sometimes, the discovery lies not in what you’re exploring, but what’s right next to it. Something you never would’ve known had you not explored in the first place. So while something may seem like a waste of time to explore, while the promise
of gain may be slim, it still might be worth it just because you never know” ~ Brian Kim

I heard about 1.5 days too late that a seal had beached at Umhlanga – The FunShine Coast in front of The Beverly Hills Hotel. I raced down there but Mr Seal had already left on his journey.

I have promised myself that the next time I return to this location, I will not take photos of the pier. I always take photos of the pier.

The photos below are variations of the exact same photo.

Kindly choose the photo that you prefer – 1, 2, 3 or 4 and please say why.
