Beachport Jetty

starting at €90.00

The jetty, completed in 1882 on the shore of the shallow bay in the small village of Beachport, was originally well over a kilometer long, but was shortened to 772 meters a few years later. The structure has withstood decades of waves crashing against it from the Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean at the Great Australian Bight. The second longest pier in the state of South Australia is still long enough to admire the scenery and luring in mullet, Australian salmon, whiting, and mulloway.

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 beach 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 distant opposite 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.
