This photograph reduces the beach almost completely to light and darkness.
Wind has formed parallel ridges across the sand, but only a narrow band catches enough light to reveal its granular surface. The rest gradually disappears towards black.
Without sea, horizon or familiar scale, the shoreline becomes abstraction.
It is one of those small landscapes that can exist almost unnoticed beneath our feet.
The wind made the lines.
The light showed me where to look.
