Evening Falls
Waves arrive in silence
light shatters into darkness
the night opens her eyes
The enormous diversity of colors of sunrises and sunsets and the completely different atmospheres they create, fascinate me.
The sunsets over the North Sea and the coastal area of western North Jutland, especially in autumn and winter, are famous for their magical Nordic color palette: a fascinating monologue of the sun from the first to the last second.
But also in many other locations and in other seasons, I have photographed sunrise and sunset to express the emotion they evoked in me.
Summer Sunset (6)
SUNSET ABOVE THE NORTH SEA AND NATURE RESERVE AGGER TANGE, DENMARK
Serenade To The Night
The last light burns
the fading day in a serenade,
honoring the night

Shrouded (1)
I’m in love with light, I often say. Or am I in love with how the light is filtered, veiled or scattered?
Here on earth the light is always filtered by something. The atmosphere, clouds, a canopy, mist…
In fact, all these ‘filters’ make the sunlight much more visible, almost touchable…

Goodnight Kisses
A light sigh is heard over the still waters,
when the late sun kisses the earth
at the beginning of a quiet night
SUNSET ABOVE NATURE RESERVE AGGER TANGE, DENMARK
Flood Of Light
Fields covered with a thin layer of snow. The world waits in stillness for the night to come.

Kiss The World Asleep
When the sun pierces through the cloud cover in winter, I have to take my chance. Too often the sun disappears behind a thick gray blanket immediately after briefly showing itself, only to show its face again the next day (or even a few days later).

Winter Sunset (3)
The sun sets behind the clouds, above a calm and cold North Sea...

Nordic Sunset (2)
It is cold, the sky is clear and the meadows are frozen. The ideal conditions under which a Nordic sunset shows itself in all its splendor.

Evening Sky Lullaby
The waves sing softly
their lullaby on the shore,
the evening sky responds in colors
that die
when the night enfolds the sun.

Fading Day
Wavy fields in sundown -
Colorful dreams of the fading day
flowing over the horizon
SUNSET ABOVE THE FIELDS NEAR THE HAMLET KOBBERØ, DENMARK
Birth Of The Night
In the fire of the sunset,
the day dies
for the night to be born
NATURE RESERVE OVERASSELTSE EN HATERTSE VENNEN NEAR THE CITY OF NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS
Poem For The Night
The dying sun
colors the sky with a poem
to welcome the night
A quiet winter evening in a swampy area. The sun sets behind the trees and colors the sky as if it was on fire. A poem to welcome the night.

Awaiting The Evening
A wild farewell to the day,
and on the waiting beach,
the evening comes ashore
A stormy, cold afternoon in January. The air is full of salty mist.

Autumn Grass (1)
Fragrant autumn grass
gently caressed
by the evening light
A sunset above the North Sea, seen through the high grass in a field close to our house.

Shattered Light
Waves arrive in silence
light shatters into darkness
the night opens her eyes
