]]> A secret beach on the Adriatic coast, tucked beneath the cliffs with pine trees above and clear water below. The narrow curve of pebbles occupies only a small part of the scene; much of the view belongs to the rock, its deep shadows and the sunlight reaching through the gaps. These photographs take a closer look at this small stretch of coastline, from the trees down to the water.

Sunlit cliffs topped with pine trees beside calm blue sea, with distant hills across the water.

The sea is only half the view.

Sunlight falls across dry golden grass beneath pine trees on a rocky forest slope.


Upward view along a textured pine trunk toward spreading branches and patches of blue sky.

Some trees make you look up before you move on.

Pine trees grow along a jagged pale rock ridge beneath a wide, clear blue sky.


A narrow gap between dark rock walls frames a sunlit orange rock face and a strip of pebble-covered ground.

A narrow opening can hold a whole landscape.

Dark overhanging rock frames a sunlit formation, pebbles, green shrubs and a narrow opening to blue sky.


Blue sky and sunlit orange rock seen through an angular opening above a pebble-covered floor.

Light gives the rock its shape. Shadow gives it depth.

Clear blue-green seawater lies between dark cliffs and pale sunlit rocks in the foreground.


A small pebble beach curves beneath steep shadowed cliffs beside clear water and a large boulder.

A small beach leaves plenty of room for the sea.

A rounded orange-gray boulder stands in clear shallow water, framed by an out-of-focus rock on the right.


Sunlight bursts around a dark rock edge above a pebble shore, with blue sea and sunlit cliffs beyond.

Even the way out is worth stopping for.

The photographs show how much a view can change within a small space. A rock that hides the sea in one frame becomes its border in the next. There is enough here to reward a slower look, whichever direction you turn.
