A serene and hushed moment on the Frisian Wadden Sea coast near Zurich. The sun slowly sinks behind the horizon, leaving a glow of warm pastel colours in the sky and water. The wooden fishing poles, old and weathered, protrude stately from the calm water surface, forming an intriguing graphic element in the otherwise minimalist landscape. This photo exudes tranquillity, simplicity and the power of silence - an ode to the Dutch coastal landscape.
