The story behind the image

Next to the beautiful beach belonging to our hotel was a small stretch of palm trees, a welcome photo opportunity, at least for those of us who do not live near palm trees.

I liked the idea of showing the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean as it was framed by the green leafs of a palm tree. The focus should be on the leafs to offer a slightly blurred marine background for headlines and copy.

Nice. And a good image to start the day with. 🙂
