About this photo: A glacial river, but it could also be a tree, a vein, a fractal, an ancient organism that lives its own life down there in the valley. From this height, the scale disappears, and we don't know whether the view is of a river or a vast riverbed stretching into the distance... and it doesn't matter. For me, this photo is in the category of images that I sometimes purposely look for in a landscape - it's about the rhythm of shapes, colours, energies, contrasts in the whole and in the details... I sense a rhythm in it, I see something moving, dancing, I can hear it.... It's not a symphony with fixed rules, it's more like jazz, constantly changing, full of improvisation, where for example here each element of the river has its own motif and plays its own solo and you don't know what's coming in the next bar, but still all the instruments and their notes are connected by the same line. For me, the contrasts and blending here create music that you can't see but you can feel. And I stand there as a silent observer, a listener to a concerto, played by masters for millennia. I'm not creating, just perceiving and sharing the experience. I'm humbled by the beauty and power that's happening in the shapes and colors... and all that jazz that's going on. Behind the scenes: This photo is a crop of a huge 600 megapixel composite I made with my drone covering a larger area of the river. I then opened it at home, taking crops of the source image and looking for patterns and rhythms.
