[Bay of Biscay] The Lonely Elephant

The-Lonely-Elephant.jpg

The Bay of Biscay, located along western France and northern Spain, is regarded as one of the world’s most treacherous bodies of water. It has long been notorious among sailors for its fierce storms and rough waters. But in my travels I’ve learned that incredible beauty is sometimes created from a combination of time and the elements, and this is especially true along the northern coast of Spain.

This artwork shows you small islet near Gaztelugatxe in the early morning. It looks like an elephant drinking the water and I instantly named it "The Lone Elephant". I used very long exposure of 60 seconds to smooth the wave and ripples on the water surface and achieve ethereal calm look of this scene.

Enjoy!
