The Liminal Network: Horizon
Akyaka in southern part of Turkey, is one of the kitesurf spots with its naturalness, greenery and plenty of wind. Overflowing especially in the summer months, is the perfect place to relax and find peace. It is a completely different place with its historical buildings, sea and sun, nature and unique scenery, fish restaurants and friendly people.
The beach of Akyaka in summer is always crowded and filled with joy, but when I was passing through in cold November, it was so serene and peaceful. There was a slight rain and the sea was so calm. It was the one and only time I saw the sea in tides. The sea occupied some part of the beach and there was a little sand island formed in the middle of the sea. It was so exciting.
I ran to my car, got the tripod, set it up, put on my water proof boots and walked to the sand island with a shutter remote. Standing in the middle of the sea made me feel like I was closer to the horizon.
