I am transparent on this pictures because it is how I feel in the Nature. We (humans) are temporary. We will go somewhere else (or nowhere). Nature is forever.

entry description
This winter I spent a whole month in the Arctic. I was in very close contact with the Nature. I spent days and nights in the wilderness, with friend, with skis with tent, without civilisation. During that time moon turn its whole cycle, Earth moved, day grow up 5 hours and night get shorter. We have seen many Northern Lights, many stars, many sunsets and sunrises. I wanted to show how much the arctic winter landscape is shaped by light. There is almost nothing else. Perfect scene for the theater of light.I am transparent on this pictures because it is how I feel in the Nature. We (humans) are temporary. We will go somewhere else (or nowhere). Nature is forever.
