The Calm Yacht

The yacht rocked gently in the quiet harbour, its reflection fractured by the rippling tide. I framed the shot just as the light broke through the clouds, casting a soft sheen across the water. Behind the calmness of the vessel, the city stood tall, three towers rising like sentinels, the guardians of the river’s edge. There was something poetic about the contrast, the stillness of the sailboat tethered to its moorings, dreaming of open seas, while the concrete skyline whispered of permanence and routine. A small dinghy clung faithfully to the yacht’s side, as if unwilling to let it wander too far.
Through my lens, the scene became more than a cityscape it was a quiet conversation between motion and stillness, between freedom and belonging. Boats resting in the harbour against a backdrop of modern apartments a peaceful blend of maritime life and urban living.
