Finally the Ocean!
The free horizon has always
transmitted a sense of freedom to me...

The air is humid
and also this morning
grey clouds seem to settle in the sky
and it’s quite cold
only sometimes a blue window in the sky...

We board on a Imraguen fishing boat
There's no wind
and the sailing
gives back the infinite moments
of the passage of the time

The waters are calm
and we wait
the arrival of the birds
In a hush nearly unreal...

When the tide grows
the birds leave
the sandbanks on the open sea
and returns to the islands
close to the coast.

It seems that the image is slightly underexposed (as Viktor said). I have a new monitor and probably still have to set it at best. In the workshop i posted the same image with the correct exposition.

The Banc d'Arguin National Park (French: Parc National du Banc d'Arguin) lies on the west coast of Mauritania between Nouakchott and Nouadhibou.

The World Heritage Site is a major breeding site for migratory birds. A wide range of species include flamingos, broad-billed sandpipers, pelicans and terns. Much of the breeding is on sand banks including the islands of Tidra, Niroumi, Nair , Kiji and Arguim . The surrounding waters are some of the richest fishing waters in western Africa and serve as nesting grounds for the entire western region.

The Banc d'Arguin National Park is a Nature reserve that was established to protect both the natural resources and the valuable fisheries, which makes a significant contribution to the national economy (Hoffmann, 1988), as well as scientifically and aesthetically valuable geological sites, in the interests of and for the recreation of the general public.

The park's vast expanses of mudflats provide a home for over two million migrant shorebirds from northern Europe, Siberia and Greenland. The region's mild climate and absence of human disturbance makes the park one of the most important sites in the world for these species.

The nesting bird population is also noted for its great numbers and diversity. Between 25,000 and 40,000 pairs belonging to 15 species, making the largest colonies of water birds in West Africa (IUCN Technical Evaluation, 1989).
