Love this one. Makes it feel like the journey you take by yourself is — literally — being lit every step of the way. How appropriate that this is titled “Independence Day.”

I know there are no sound effects connected with this story, but I can hear the sound of the cigarette lighter and the crunch of the steps on the beach.

This happened to me, too! When my boyfriend (now husband) and I were walking after dark on the beach in NC while we were on our high school senior trip.

I really dig this. Love what it looks like. And yeah … I agree … I can “hear” audio even though there are no words for sound f/x. Great job!
