torso of a dead seal on sternbjerg strand; cloesup with the body and sand filling most of the frame

decaying body of a seal.

T 19:02:31 UTC

same dead body of seal, in darkness as photographed in front of the setting sun above the north sea

the setting sun and noisy sea which swallows everything and spits and swallows it again.

T 19:03:44 UTC

dead seal body photographed with sun from the back, looking eastwards

We cannot know his legendary head / with eyes like ripening fruit because not much remained of it but mangled bloody flesh & seagull footprints next to where the torso rests. And yet his torso / is still suffused with brilliance from inside

T 19:31:16 UTC

green landscape photographed from dune towards the east, coming from the west/beach

walking towards the east, where the sun would rise the morning after, our evening was still suffused with brilliance from outside.

T 19:38:17 UTC

north sea with one single cloud and blue, dark sky, sun already set

looking back westwards, the sun was already below the horizon, swallowed by the sea. the cold, headless body out of sight and left to rot in darkness.

rainbow towards the east above where the beach is; grassy and sandy dunes.

next morning from the summer house, a rainbow could be seen beyond the beach, then soon dissolved into the sea.
