A rare moment on the Eastern Scheldt: the Zeeland Bridge is bathed in bright sunlight while the sky above turns menacingly dark. This low-key shot captures the dramatic contrast between light and shadow, with the cycle and footpath in the foreground leading in a graceful curve into the distance. The dark water reflects the tension of the moment, while the snow-white-lit bridge rises like a beacon against the darkness.
The picture was taken on an early evening, when the sun unexpectedly broke through and cast the bridge in an almost surreal light. The composition emphasises the graphic lines of the path and bridge, inviting the viewer to walk into the image. This work is an ode to the power of Zeeland's landscape, where nature and infrastructure meet in a play of light and form.
Perfect for interiors seeking tranquillity and depth, with a touch of drama and a nod to the beauty of the unexpected.
