A spectacular sunset with lines in the sand on Wissant beach on the Côte d'Opale in France. I had a few days to explore the area and it was my first introduction to this beautiful area.
At low tide, the beaches are incredibly wide, creating beautiful structures and pools of water. I had timed my visit so that sunset and sunrise would pretty much coincide with low tide.
For this photo, I placed my tripod as low as possible on the sand to accentuate the lines and structures in the foreground.
The photo takes you to the horizon and exudes tranquillity and vastness. It also gives you a summer feeling because of the warm colours of the setting sun.
