Beach Hut

starting at €90.00

The Setúbal Peninsula juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, 30 km south of the mouth of the Tagus River in Lisbon. The northern half of the coast is called Caparica, while the southern half consists of smaller, distinct sandy beaches. The coastal fossil cliffs, dune strips, and part of the forests are protected areas. On a Sunday in November, people are few and far between on the beach. A dog runs excitedly through the long beach waves and greets other furry friends coming its way. Another watches intently as its owners ride the waves.

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.
