Magical sunset in Scheveningen

Magical sunset at Scheveningen beach

Scheveningen is a modern seaside resort with a long, sandy beach, an esplanade, a pier, and a lighthouse. The beach is popular for water sports such as windsurfing and kite boarding.

I cannot hide how much I enjoy sunsets and sunrises at the beach. You can visit the same spot everyday, and you will go back with a different image every time. I live at a bit more than one hour from the famous Scheveningen beach in The Netherlands. When time allows and the weather conditions are favorable, I just get in my car to witness another sunset at the pier. Recently I am using more ND filters for longer exposure images and I must say that the world looks so amazingly beautiful. Even the most simple is suddenly transformed in a piece of art. It is like that time stands still. For this image I decided to have the pier as main object but allowing a tiny wooden pole on the left to be part of the scene. Whether it is the smooth water, the composition, the colors or a combination of them, I truly love the end result. Another example of simplicity taken to the next step.
