Winter silence in the Soester Dunes. This impressive photograph captures the moment when the sun stands behind a bare tree, casting its branches in beautiful silhouette. The clear blue sky is subtly lifted by the soft backlight, which makes the colours go from a soft yellow, to deep blue. Aircraft stripes traverse the sky, while the dune hill at the bottom of the image enhances the serenity of winter nature. Perfect for those who want to experience the serenity of a winter day in nature, with a touch of poetry and silence.
This picture was taken on a clear winter afternoon. One of those where it is cold but does not feel cold and you breathe white clouds. One of those where, at the end of a walk under a blanket, you enjoy a steaming cup of hot chocolate with a big dollop of whipped cream, or a cup of snert with rye bread and Dutch cured bacon. One of those evenings when you really can't resist a second plate of kale with sausage. In short, a typically Dutch winter day that resulted in a beautiful winter photo of a characteristic tree.
Hopefully you will enjoy this beautiful picture on your wall as much as I did while taking it. Feel free to take a look at my other works too!
Greetings,
Ruben
