Modern society

Kijkduin, The Hague, The Netherlands view map

I find the way people behave in space very interesting. One of my early textbooks at university had an opening chapter called "On the beach" about people looking for open space or clustering. This image is a good illustration. The impression of dispersion of people across space is enhanced here by the dark line and the wedge of sea water that create compartments. Apart from this all, it was a perfect day at the beach very early in the season. I did not know the place very well and was very pleased to find a watchtower to takes pictures from.

I now see you were at 300mm, which explains the fabulous compression of perspective you get here.
