Excellent shot! The dark doorway draws to itself many visitors, by traces on sand. And what inside?

I`m always fascinated by this warm light!! Makes me want to put my feet into the warm sand right away! smile )
A beautiful and so interesting picture, dear Wahid! One starts to ponder about all these people and their fates....how they have been living, what they were doing, what they did look like...etc.
Thank you for that great explanation!
