entry description
I took this photo last March at the end of the afternoon (around 5 p.m.) on the beach of Knokke at the Belgian coast. Since our North Sea is oriented to the North and I take this photo to the West (Zeebrugge in the background) the characters are therefore naturally against the light. As luck would have it, that afternoon I came across a happy group of young girls - of Jewish origin, no doubt - all dressed in black - from head to toe - which helps to accentuate the backlight and this effect of dark silhouettes.I stayed for a while watching them play. The characters in the background have joined the young girls in a silent and precise ballet. It was just magical.
