This series depicts the structural and graphical beauty of tiny waves arriving at the shore. The combination of the wave shape and the resulting lens effect together with the varying position of the sun and the colour and structure of the ground results in an indefinite number of appearances. Close-up photography of these appearances is like creating abstract paintings.

Biography
Born in Germany and living in Denmark, I am a biologist by education and a photographer by passion.
As a biologist, my photography is about nature. Leaving the house is mainly to visit the outdoors, always accompanied by my camera(s). I take photographs to document what I see - wildlife, plants, landscapes. My photographs focus on those aspects of nature that cannot be visualized by the naked eye - because they are too tiny, too fast, or too slow.
