He Sells Seashells by the Seashore.. And They're Expensive!

This is my entry for today's landscape photography contest hosted by @juliank.

As my husband and I tried to catch a glimpse of the sunrise, a picture perfect scene came into view. A man in his 40s was carrying a basket of seashells in the foreground. I took some photos of him before he would fade away in the distance. He did not fade away in the distance, though. It seemed he was getting closer. Indeed, he approached us. He sold us decorative seashells, but they were expensive. We did not bring any money. We had to say no. We said our greetings. He walked on and we watched him fade away in the distance.
