“Genesis” | Costa Vicentina, Portugal
“Creation is an eternal process that goes much beyond the supposed beginning. In some places, where the earth is constantly moulded by the strength of the waters, where the air smells like ancient times, you can feel the sheer power and intensity of this process.
In these places, Nature is still Queen…”

One of my favourite beaches, filled with amazing rock formations. The tide was rising and I had to hurry to be able to get this shot, as the foreground rocks would be quickly submerged. Two other photographers were shooting this same scene, from a much farther point, and I was the only who thought it would be a good idea to soak my legs up to the knee in very cold water. Unless my life is clearly in danger, nothing will stop me from getting a good angle. :)
