Gladstone Jetty

starting at €90.00

The old port of Gladstone in Western Australia served barge and steamship transport from the early 1900s. The cargo consisted mainly of wool and sandalwood. Camels carried the cargo to the shore from farms in the Murchinson region. The remains of the jetty, built in 1910, still exist, and Australian pied cormorants have made it their resting place. We spent the night next to the jetty, camping near the tide line of the shallow beach.

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.
