This atmospheric work transports you to the old harbour of Cocksdorp on Texel, where time and nature converge in a stunning, desolate scene. The abandoned jetty and weathered wooden poles rising from the water create a powerful contrast with the dramatic, quintessential Dutch skies gathering above the landscape. The solitary boat at the pier seems frozen in time, while the heavy clouds evoke a sense of drama and melancholy.
This moment arose spontaneously: I quickly climbed over the dike, curious about what lay beyond. What I discovered was an almost surreal beauty. The looming clouds, the stillness of the water, and the abandonment of this old harbour turned it into a unique and striking scene. It is a tribute to Texel and the raw, untamed nature that defines this Wadden Island.
The simplicity and calm of this work invite reflection and bring the power of the Dutch landscape to life. The water, the clouds, and the silent harbour together form a timeless composition that keeps drawing you in.
Perfect for:
Lovers of Dutch landscapes and the Wadden Islands
Fans of minimalist, melancholic photography
Interiors with a modern, rural, or Scandinavian style
People with a connection to Texel and the unique character of the old harbour
