Xiapu | Xiapu, China namibia bamboo fishing poles and kelp

bamboo fishing poles and kelp farms that reveal themselves only at low tide

From altitude they become something else entirely — two perfect columns of figures and shadows moving in symmetrical formation across the sand

the water is the colour of the Caribbean and the light is low and golden - and if you look closely at the white sand

the tide pulls back to reveal a tidal formation so luminous and precisely shaped it looks placed rather than made

the working boat between them the only element that breaks the stillness of the pattern
