Reeds

Amrum, an island in the North Sea close to the German coastline, impresses particularly during the winter months. At this time of the year, unique tranquillity and atmospheric light create a very special mood. In the off-peak season the islanders reclaim their „Island of Freedom“ for themselves. It is now, that only the sound of the roaring sea and the squealing of the sea gulls disturb the silence.

Resilient reeds, commonly found near the shore, withstand both the strong winds and ice and snow. This serene photograph takes the observer into the scene of a cool and crisp winter morning. Illuminated in warm light, the reeds sway slowly in a gentle morning breeze.
