When first looking at the photograph, the vivid sunset sticks out along with the rocks, and waves. When looking closely at the design of the rocks on the bottom of the tapestry design the crisp 3-D lines make the rocks seem like they are all stacked and washed up on the shore from the waves. The rocks are also a platform made out of all shapes and sizes of rocks. In the sky, thick rolling clouds are forming as the sunset sets. The calm waves have the reflection of the sunset as it continues to fall. Towards the shore, waves become more rapid and the depth decreases. The shape of the waves also helps one imagine the sound of the waves hitting the shore while the body begins to relax and meditate. The calm movement in the beach photograph tapestry provides comfort and relaxes the body. Calm movements compared to fast movements are more likely to put someone into meditation especially with a photograph that can easily be imagined in real life. Next time when a tapestry is displayed somewhere, relate to what may be going on and take in all the vibes from the cloth tapestry. Multiple designs in tapestries mean different things. The designs are used for multiple reasons some include relaxation, happiness, reflection of life, and some are used to help with stress along with depression. When looking at a beach and sunset usually people feel happy and relaxed and can imagine being on a beach which

Sometimes when I am relaxing at the beach I will listen to music. My favorite type of music to listen to while I am at the beach is Country music. Country music is upbeat and happy and most country songs talk about being on the beach or somewhere tropical. The sound of birds chirping is another thing I will hear at the beach. The big groups of seagulls will chirp loudly if someone tries to run after them or if they feel endangered.
