The Cathedral of the Sea (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Three people walk on As Catedrais beach located in Galicia on the northwest coast of Spain. I took this image a few days before arriving in Santiago de Compostela as I was making a little deviation on my 900km walk across Spain. It felt like an oasis. I will not forget the mystical sensation of these 30-meter high cliffs and geological formations rising up around me. I am fascinated by this kilometric coastline and its ever-changing atmospheres shaped by the tides, the weather and the fortuitous presence of human beings.
