Katrin Forrest, A Fleeting Grace (SEASCAPE 2027)

Standing by the water on a somber, grey morning, the world felt entirely still. This photograph documents the exact moment the sky opened up, casting dramatic sun rays across the water. The perfectly timed flight of a single seagull brings a sense of life, scale and movement to an otherwise frozen coastal landscape.
