Sadie Quarrier Graphically strong, serene, and artful scenes. I like the delicate tree shapes, reflections, and changing gentle light. Very zen.
At Walakiri Beach in Sumba, Indonesia, mangroves rise from shallow tidal waters in forms shaped by wind, salt, and constant exposure. These coastal trees stabilize shorelines, shelter juvenile fish and invertebrates, and help buffer erosion. Their fragile presence reflects the ecological importance of intertidal habitats, which are increasingly threatened by sea-level rise, coastal degradation, and climate change.
