Beyond the horizon

When staring too long at the horizon, one can quickly lose bearings. At times, its boundaries begin to merge with the environment. As a result, finding the focus becomes a problematic target. While one is still busy winking to gain perspective again, the reality has perhaps already changed.

Often, these transformations happen unexpectedly. The outcome is not always a pleasant experience because change does not necessarily mean improvement. It these moments, the temptation is big to remain for too long at a specific place. However, it runs the risk of completely losing track.

As the extent of the horizon sometimes seems endless, unforeseen surprises often arise when they are expected the less. Consequently, bridges might suddenly open up, guiding the way to the lost track, where obstacles previously bogarted all attention.

Kalla’s Toren in Katwijk aan Zee

This stunning shot was taken during the summer of 2020 in the charming city of Katwijk aan Zee. And what makes it so unique? The focal point of this image is none other than the drainage basin of Kalla's Toren. Yes, you heard that right! A drainage basin has never looked so captivating before. Trust me when I say, this photo will leave you mesmerized and convinced that even the most mundane objects can be transformed into something extraordinary with just the right perspective and lighting. So, please sit back, relax and let me take you on a journey through one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
