Hibernating Shores
The Beach’s Winter Slumber
This photograph goes back to around December 2003 in Hampton, New Hampshire.
This photo shows a super peaceful winter day at Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. The sky‘s full of big, moody clouds, and the beach is empty—none of the summer crowd here. There’s seaweed scattered all over the sand, left behind by the waves. You can see seagulls flying around in the cold breeze, but you can’t hear them over the wind. It’s like a quiet, calm spot where you can just breathe in the crisp air and take in the huge view of the ocean stretching out.
The expansive clouds loom as nature‘s own thoughts, while the deserted sands, patterned with seaweed, tell of the ocean’s silent whispers. Gulls glide, solitary figures against the cold sky, their cries a fleeting echo. Here, the solitude is profound, a dance of nature’s quiet rhythm, offering a space for reflection amidst the serenity of the sea’s endless reach.
