Less often is more! A longer exposure time smoothened the water of the North Sea as well as the clouds in the sky. The smoothening, in combination with the black and white presentation, makes the photograph more simple. Also, this combination creates a minimalist coastal landscape with a soothing and zen look and feel. The photo was captured at a relatively quiet moment, just before a rainstorm. Hence the title “Ending Silence”.
A sandy beach near the small seaside municipality of Domburg in the Dutch province of Zeeland is the home of this breakwater. The various beaches near Domburg are quite well-known for the many breakwaters. These are there to keep the beach from eroding. The shores of the North Sea in The Netherlands are a great place to capture minimalist coastal landscape photographs like this one. Make sure to visit when you get the chance!
