Silent Moment of the Month




Playa del Silencio, Asturias, Spain
To be honest this wasn't a <Silent Moment>, because the Atlantic Ocean showed its wild side. When the sea level fluctuates over four meters due to the tides, it is crucial to know when and where to take photographs. Without keeping the water level in mind the shoot can become dangerous within minutes.
As much as I love the ocean, I have a lot of respect of its raw power. Beeing the only person on that beach didn't give me a secure sensation. Although this image sends out a feeling of beauty and relaxation, the situation wasn't stress-free at all. Behind my back were steep cliffs, blocking the escape route from the incoming surf. Some waves came so close that I had to jump over the wet rocks from time to time, holding the tripod up high to keep the camera dry. Finally I was wet up to waist level.
