Tamarindo

starting at €90.00

There are signs warning of crocodiles along the edges of Tamarindo's lovely sandy beach, but tourists don't seem to care. Surfers wade across the wide river mouth in an almost continuous stream, and children splash around in the shallows. After walking a little upstream from the river mouth, I sit down on the riverbank – and soon a huge crocodile's head rises to the surface of the river. The risk is real even in this Costa Rican paradise.

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

Standing on the shore, it feels as though the sea separates us. But when you step onto the boat, the sea brings us together. The thought that the waves washing over my feet on my home shore could carry 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. Even though hiking in the mountains is wonderful, it’s only by the sea that one finally finds peace. It’s strange how the sea feels like home even on the 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.
