A Sailing Match at Horning

In this serene black-and-white photograph, five sailboats glide gracefully across a calm body of water, their sails billowing gently in the breeze under a partly cloudy sky. The tranquil scene captures the peaceful spirit of a leisurely day on the water, with a few people aboard the boats, enjoying their time moving with the wind on the water.
