Arctic Winter

The arctic landscape in the winter is stripped down to its basic elemental lines, patterns and shapes of the natural world; a monochromatic wonderland of water in all its manifestations. It presents itself to the viewer with extreme and surreal beauty, silent and aloof. It is defined by the abstraction of the black lines of nature enveloped in a blanket of whiteness. As I wandered around the snow painted mountains and reflective fjords, I became absorbed in the simple act of being; observing and experiencing the wonder of this silent yet powerful landscape. These images were taken in the arctic region of Norway in the winter of 2019.
