EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw beauty and power of the North Sea as it crashes against the rugged coastline of Texel, one of the Dutch Wadden Sea islands. The image, taken in 1987, shows a coast guard standing steadfast below the Texel Lighthouse at De Cocksdorp. The lighthouse, with its distinctive red and white stripes, stands tall against the stormy sky, its beam piercing through the darkness and fog. The coast guard, bundled up against the cold wind, seems small and insignificant in the face of the mighty sea. But his presence is a reminder of the vital role the Dutch coast guard plays in ensuring the safety of those who live and work in this harsh and unforgiving environment. The image transports us back to the 1980s, a time when the world seemed a little more raw and untamed, and when the power of nature was a constant reminder of our place in the world. The Texel Lighthouse, a symbol of resilience and endurance, stands tall against the elements, a beacon of hope and safety in the midst of the stormy North Sea.
