Top Photos of 2024: A father and son enjoying a summer day at the beach.

From photographer Scott Brashier:
“One of the main reasons that we moved here in 1970 was the beach. The simplicity of what this image captures. A father and son enjoying the beach, the waves, the water. Nothing else needed. No water toys, no smart phones, no noise, just the sound of waves and laughter.”
