A gentle path between swaying marram grass opens the view of the vast beach of Ballum, Ameland. In the distance, horsemen with their horses trek along the tide line, a subtle accent in this overwhelmingly calm coastal landscape. The golden sand, shimmering sea and heavy cloudscapes combine to form a contrasting and dynamic composition.
The photo exudes tranquillity and space. The dunes form a natural frame, as if the viewer is sneaking a glimpse of a serene moment by the sea. The play between light and shadow, sun and clouds, gives the image depth and atmosphere - a perfectly captured piece of Wadden Island nature.
