Panorama of ‘Waiting for High Water’, Holwerd, Friesland

by Henk Meijer Photography

A 65:24 Xpan panoramic photograph of a summer morning at ‘Waiting for High Tide’, the remarkable artwork by the Dutch sculptor Jan Ketelaar, situated on the Wadden Sea coast near Holwerd in Friesland.

The artwork consists of two five-metre-high, welded metal female figures – one voluptuous and one slender – standing side by side and looking out over the vast Wadden Sea. The artwork symbolises the quest for balance, connection and exchange, and is beautifully framed by the expansive coastal landscape, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The ultra-wide panoramic composition emphasises the endless horizon, the mudflats and the open sky, whilst the warm morning sunlight creates a peaceful atmosphere in which contemporary art and nature blend seamlessly along the Frisian coast.

This photograph was taken using a professional Hasselblad X2D II 100C, a 100-megapixel camera, and a Hasselblad lens to ensure the very highest quality in terms of sharpness and detail.
