Frozen in time
The cold stops the waterfall mid-fall and the ship mid-journey. Only one of them moves again in spring.

Where the satellites stop, the drone begins: high enough to see how a river bends, low enough to see the ice break.

What it shot
Bogs at first light, the northern lights over the sea, a wreck sinking into the shore. I photograph Estonia from where people rarely stand : from above, at eye level with the wildlife, and inside the places people left behind.
Nature holds on Buildings let go
Viewpoint 04 · Side by side

Letting the light in

Taking it back
The first flowers of the year push up at the foot of old stone. In the reeds, the wreck already belongs to them.
