This vertical colour photograph shows a carefully stacked tower of boulders, a symbol of balance, peace and focus. The stones are of different shapes, colours and sizes and are stacked on top of each other on a sandy, stony surface. The stack consists of about nine rounded boulders - the lower ones are large and flat, while the upper ones are smaller, smoother and lighter in colour. The top stone is almost spherical, giving it a pointed, pyramid-like shape.
The colours of the stones range from dark grey and bluish to light beige, brown and sandy. The natural colour gradient adds to the harmony of the sculpture. The focus is sharp on the pile itself, while the background - which looks like a beach or shore - is completely blurred by a strong blur (bokeh). This ensures that the eye is completely led to the stones, creating a sense of calm and simplicity.
The composition is simple and powerful. The central placement of the pile against a soft, hazy background creates an almost meditative atmosphere. The texture of the stones is clearly visible, with natural unevenness, smooth surfaces and small flecks of sand or moisture.

I would like to share my passion for photography on this. Landscape, animals or a newborn shoot, I enjoy everything equally in front of my lens...
