Somewhere Else

Ben shot this at West Bay, Middle Percy Island — one of the most iconic anchorages on the offshore sailing route between the Whitsundays and the Capricorn Coast. The palms line a wide white beach where cruisers have been dropping anchor since the 1960s, when the old sheep station became a pit stop for passing yachts. In black and white, the postcard brightness falls away and the scene slows down — just the lean of the palms, a boat at anchor, and a horizon that isn't going anywhere.
