I took this photograph along Mariager Fjord, between Hadsund and Assens, in a small coastal woodland that is regularly affected by high water. I wanted to explore how this type of forest changes when it sits on the boundary between land and sea.
The image is captured directly from above, using a drone, to emphasise the graphic structure of the landscape. From the ground, this area feels dense and unremarkable, but from above it reveals a network of lines shaped by water movement, growth, and seasonal change.
I chose to photograph it just before spring fully arrives, when the vegetation is still muted. At this stage, the underlying patterns are more visible. The traces of flooding, the paths through the grass, and the scattered trees all become part of a larger composition that would be harder to see later in the season.
For me, this image is about revealing a landscape that is easy to overlook. It shows how even a small coastal forest can carry a complex structure, shaped over time by shifting water levels and natural growth.
