On the beach, a shallow ring of water forms around an ammonite fossil. Curled up and naked, a woman lies on her side atop the ridged surface of the spiral. Her eyes are closed as if she's asleep鈥r perhaps lost deep in contemplation. Her arms are a tangle, with one bent to sink fingers into her dark blonde hair. Beneath her, the other arm extends past the point of her knee to hold up the fanned leaf of a gingko tree against the smooth skin of her calf. Small shards crack off the ammonite as the water retreats over smooth sand. In the immediate foreground mossy rocks jut out of the sand. In the background, larger angled rock formations partially obscure the horizon but open enough to provide a view of the frothy surf rolling in.
