A series of photos I made on the coast that I have fallen in love with years ago: deserted beaches, a strong west wind, sometimes a fierce storm, and a beautiful dune landscape that is largely a protected nature reserve. Over 40 kilometers of pure and silent beauty between the towns of Agger and Hanstholm, North Jutland, Denmark.
The sunset photos and the black and white seascape photos now have their own series:
Sundown soliloquy and A silent lament in darkness

Moonlit Night
Sitting on the beach
musing on the chant of the sea
in the moonlit night
Enclosed by the wind
Tears of salt
Enclosed
by the wind
New day
The blue sea
welcomes the dawn
of my new day
Slow dance
Shattered blue
The autumn sea
Cold winds break the blue
A deserted beach
Shivering sea
The shivering sea
softly sings to the sun
in the morning
Chasing waves (also available without border)
Waves chasing waves
a kiss before they break
fleeting love on stormy days
Morning song
The endless sea whispers,
cold
her misty morning song
Run swiftly
The wind runs swiftly over the sea,
sweeps the waves against the shore
and jumps over the dunes
to rest in the marram grass
Silenced
Errant thoughts,
silenced in the light
of the waiting sea
Dreams land on a distant shore
While waking up,
my dreams land
on a distant shore

Brought ashore by the dark of time (2)
Silent sea
Clouds linger under the evening sky,
seek for their reflection in the
silent waters of the musing sea
Safe embrace
High dunes welcome the dreams
that hesitantly loosen themselves
from the safe embrace of the sea
Wild is the wind
The wild wind rages
over the sea, breaking the waves
on the drowning beach
Sighing waves
With a soft sigh,
exhausted waves
bury themselves
in the cool sand
Haze of Silence
A haze of
silence, longing
for the night
Breath of winter (also available with border)
With a gentle breeze,
the winter soothes
the breaking waves
Restless winds (also available with border)
Restless winds climb the dunes
and leave the waves
in the arms of the shore
With white border
Without border
Silent shore
In the awakening of
a cold morning, restless dreams
meet the silent shore and die
Available as Limited edition 1 of 1
Inevitable encounter
The wind lightly blows to the land,
calming the waves before they meet the shore,
guiding the clouds to what lies behind the dunes
Blue to blue
…
She picked the colors from the air
…
Black to black
When the evening comes
Blue to blue
In the night
…
Adagio in Blue
Walking on the beach south of Agger (North Jutland, Denmark) at the end of a windy winter day, I notice the slow and stately rhythm of the waves. Adagio, as life can be here in the beautiful north west of Denmark.
I found this beautiful piece of music with the same title:

Adagio in Blue on Soundcloud
Composed and played by Nina Khachiyants
Adagio in Blue video:
Calming night
Cold and gloomy the west wind
rushes over the sea,
the night supplants the dusk
and calms the waves
Golden dunes of amber
Between here and there
sea and land
the blue and the green
lie the golden dunes of amber
Ever changing
fluid like the waters
solid as the earth
This poem was written by my beloved Anuscka
Beaches of loss
Over the dunes of cupidity
on the beaches of loss
standing in the face of infinity
we found what we fell short
emptiness and modesty
Found a place to lie down
At the end of a long journey,
the waves try to go back to open sea one last time.
But the land is adamant,
so the waves lie down to rest on the sand.
Sail to the shore on the waves of the wind
In search for a shore
Infinite fight with wind and tide,
always in search for a shore to calm down.
Echo of freedom
Anyway the wind blows
