Beachport Jetty

starting at €90.00

Completed in 1882 on the shore of a shallow bay in the small village of Beachport, the pier was originally well over a kilometer long, but it was shortened to 772 meters a few years later. The structure has withstood the waves crashing from the Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean into the Great Australian Bight for decades. The second-longest pier in the state of South Australia is still long enough to admire the scenery and to catch kelp, arripis, white cod, and drumfish.

BY THE SEA – Photographs from the water's edge around the world

When you're stranded on the shore, it feels like the sea separates you. But when you step into a boat, the sea connects you. The idea that the waves rinsing my feet on my home shore can take me around the world is enchanting. From my home pier, I can reach the Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, the Mediterranean, and the tiny islands of the Pacific. Although hiking in the mountains is wonderful, it is only by the sea that I finally feel at peace. It is strange how the sea feels so familiar even on the a far away shore. The seas are woven from the same foam and salt spray.

The images in this series can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
