The last autumn sunset artwork in this series. The wind is strong, clouds drift quickly along the sky, rushing to catch the last rays of light.
Sunset over the dunes along the North Sea and the bay Krik Vig, part of the Limfjord. I made this photo standing in the fields near the hamlet where I live.

Darkness falls,
the grass caresses the last light
and bends into the night.
The fifth and last photo in an abstract series of a sunset, using high grass as a filter for the bright light of the setting sun.

Through dusk and silence,
wandering over deserted beaches
'Wandering soul' is an analog photo that I made during an evening walk on the beautiful North Sea beach near the town of Agger, North Jutland, Denmark.
I made this photo with an old Canon FTb SLR camera and a film with a 'best-before date' that is long gone...

Silent shadows
push me to the light
Emptiness
whispers my name
'Light Of Emptiness' is an artwork in a four-part black and white project. In this project I photographed tree lanes as a charcoal like sketch.
I made this photo on a gray rainy day in May on a path between a canal and the fields, in the vicinity of the city of Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

The sun has set, the water of the fjord rapidly takes on the cold color of the night. Thin cloud veils seem to swallow up the colors of the sunset, until it's dark.

Lost in the soft voices of the wind
as I wander through the fields
into the colors of this autumn morning
On a beautiful morning I wandered through the fields along the bay Krik Vig, part of the Limfjord. Except for the rustling of the wind and a single bird, it's quiet…

"You white men are lost. You don't understand the land. Too many silly questions.
Your presence on this earth will come to an end.
You have no sense. No purpose. No direction."
Where The Green Ants Dream (1984, Werner Herzog), Quote: Miliritbi (played by Wandjuk Marika)
Associating is a strange phenomenon. Sometimes a line from a song or poem comes straight into my mind when I see a photo I've made.
When my wife saw this photo yesterday, that I had made half an hour before, the first thing she said was: 'Where The Green Ants Dream'.
Images of that movie immediately came to my mind, and although this photo has no direct relationship to it, the title stuck in my head for this photo.
It fits perfectly for me...
'Where The Green Ants Dream' is a new photo in the collection 'Secret Places'.

As of November 1st you can see my artworks on this new website!
The current website is a bit dated after 5 years, so it’s time for a new look. In a design made by my youngest son, I’ve been working hard the past few weeks to fill it with a selection of my work.
Not everything is ready yet, but I’d appreciate it if you take a look.
The current domain name jacobberghoef dot art remains in use and will also bring you on the new website from November 1st.
The photo: Autumn Sunset (6) - Golden Silence. Sunset above the North Sea, seen from where I live in Denmark.

Autumn Sunset (6) is an impressionistic fine art seascape photo in the collection 'Evening Falls'.
Prints are available in my portfolio at Saatchi Art.
When making this artwork, I questioned my love for light, contemplating whether it's the direct brightness or its filtered beauty that captivates. I experimented by using grass to soften the glare, produce the piece 'Shrouded (1),' and invite contemplation on nature's beauty.
