The Tide is Turning

I think it's undeniable that there are elements of the Australian community who respond in a xenophobic way to either ethnic or religious minorities (especially Muslims) but given that we have one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the world, I think we are generally very tolerant and accepting of one another. Meaning, we don't necessarily agree on some issues, but we're happy to let people have their own way of life so long as it is legal and does not restrict others.
This picture wasn't a set up. The title and the image are simple, but optimistic. It's not idealistic, but believable which gives me hope.
I hope one day this photo will be seen as just be an ordinary image of two people on a nice beach.
