First, it was the waves that caught my attention. They seemed to offer perfect conditions for surfing, an almost constant presence along this coastline.
Then, in the distance, a sailboat appeared, tiny against the vastness of the Atlantic.
I waited a little, watching the waves take shape, until I found the moment when the breaking surf and the sailboat came together in the same scene.
Between those who challenge the waves, those who sail towards the horizon, and those who simply stand and admire, the ocean reveals different ways of experiencing its beauty.
