Sand Ripples at Golden Hour, Katwijk aan Zee

12 May 2025 · Katwijkaan Zee

Wind-sculpted sand ripples on the North Sea coast near Katwijk aan Zee, photographed at golden hour when raking light pulls every ridge and shadow into relief. The warm grade sits inside the subject rather than on top of it — the sand is already this colour at dusk, the grade only deepens what the light was doing. A pure surface study: no horizon, no built element, just the geometry that wind leaves behind on coastal sand.
