"Beach walk"

This picture was taken during my second stay in Sylt.

It was January. A stormy January. The picture shows a section of beach between Wenningstedt and Westerland. On this day there was a storm surge warning for the German North Sea coast and you can see the waves several meters high, guess the strong wind that blew around the ears of the walkers.
The wind drove sand and spray flakes the size of football.
I love this mood when the wave crests pile up, the seagulls “play” with the storm and skillfully plunge into the floods again and again to catch their food.
On less windy days, you might count two or three rows of foam-crowned waves.

An diesem Tag waren sie nicht zu zählen und einzeln nicht auszumachen.
