Abandoned jetty: double take in Texel's harbour by Texel eXperience

This black-and-white double shot, taken at Sil's little harbour in de Cocksdorp on Texel, is an intriguing example of abstract art photography. The photo shows an abandoned wooden jetty stretching towards the horizon, surrounded by a dramatic sky full of dark clouds. The double exposure adds an extra layer of mystery, with clouds appearing to hover over the jetty, creating a surreal effect. This image evokes a sense of desolation and timelessness, while at the same time inviting the viewer to reflect on the relationship between man and nature.

As an abstract art photographer, I strive to explore the boundaries of reality and challenge the viewer to look beyond the surface. This photo is a perfect illustration of that philosophy. By using double exposure, I create a dream-like atmosphere that takes the viewer into another world. This work is inspired by the techniques of famous photographers such as Man Ray and Jerry Uelsmann, who are known for their innovative use of photomontage and surrealist elements. Like them, my work seeks to create a visual poetry that stimulates the imagination and opens new perspectives.

This photograph is not only a visual spectacle, but also an invitation to reflect on the impermanence of time and the power of nature. It is a tribute to the beauty of the island of Texel and a reminder of the endless possibilities of photography as an art form.
