This photo was taken at Vagueira Beach, on the Atlantic coast of Portugal. The image shows three children entering the water together, hand in hand, facing the waves. Their bodies lean forward, responding to the movement of the sea, while their steps seem hesitant. The youngest child is guided by the others. The photograph captures a moment of shared courage and playfulness, where friendship manifests itself through movement, balance, and mutual trust. The image captures an instant in which the sea becomes both a challenge and a game, experienced together.
