Lesley Bretherton, Tetrapods and Harbour Nada Beach Kyushu (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2024)

This scene captures a blend of natural and industrial elements along Nada Beach in Kyushu. The large, concrete, tetrahedron-shaped structures protect coastal areas from erosion. The rough, angular forms contrast with the smooth sea and gentle sky, captured in a long exposure, and the delicate insect like industrial structures in the background highlighting the interplay between human engineering and nature.
