Where two seas meet the sand, and the horizon seems to stretch forever.
A place of edges
Skagen is known for its northern position and the experience of standing near the meeting of the Skagerrak and Kattegat. The landscape feels expansive: a low horizon, restless wind and long bands of sand.
Looking closely
Notice how the colour of the sea changes as clouds move overhead. The same stretch of shore can appear silver, blue, green or almost white within an afternoon.
A field note
An illustration cannot replace the feel of wind or the sound of the water. It can, however, remind us to look for the little lines that connect land, light and sea.
