Silence between ebb and high tide on the Atlantic coast

“Silence between ebb and high tide on the Atlantic coast” is a photo I took on a cloudy spring day on the coast of Loire-Atlantique in France. It was one of those days when everything moves slowly and silence hangs in the air. Rain threatened, but did not come. The wind seemed to pick up for a moment, but failed to materialize.

The wooden breakwater or groynes and the rocks rise demurely above the still water surface. In the background, the carrelets stand deserted. Trees stood motionless on the rocks of the shore in the windless air.

With the minimalist landscape photo “Silence between ebb and high tide on the Atlantic coast,” I invite you to pause for a moment and feel the timelessness in the moment.

As wall decoration, this image fits well in a living room, bedroom, workspace, or waiting room where you consciously choose silence and simplicity.

I took this photo using a long shutter speed, which brings out the infinite silence even further in the image. A technique that is central to my minimalist photography and that transforms this seascape landscape into a calm, timeless fine art image.
