A spectacular and colourful sunset on Wissant beach on the Côte d'Opale in France. It was an evening with hardly any wind and the atmosphere was calm and quiet.
I had a few days to explore the area and it was my first introduction to this beautiful area.

For me, this is a photo that should above all exude peace and calm. It's a photo you can dream away with and take you back to a beautiful moment.
