Description
The winds of the Atlantic never stop blowing. At least it seems that way. The leaves of the maritime forests nestled behind the dunes are always rustling, the grasses always dancing. The craters in the sand shuffle about imperceptibly. The landscape is always changing, always shifting.
The Atlantic is a master craftsman. Through its windy fingers it sculpts landscapes of a unique weary ruggedness. How can nature appear both rugged and weary? These are human words. Perhaps that is at the center of my attraction to these places. The textures of the grasses, the stiffness of the shrubs, the rigid trees with rattling leaves refusing to give way. It all seems so human to exist in a place constantly trying to wear you down.
