Description

This is my most personal piece of nature-photography.
I love being surrounded by nature and seeing all the tiny miracles going on there. every single day one of these miracles dies and leaves a scar. to me, this photograph symbolizes the last breath of the earth, a desperate breath.

I can hardly describe how very moved I was when pushing the button. on the one hand I was so grateful for being able to shoot this moment, on the other there was an extreme sadness.

this picture will remain in my head forever and I hope it'll never become reality for us.

I had to shoot this moment to be able to share. with you.

Very pretty! It does have a sense of sadness to it, like after a wild fire. The orange clouds kinda look like the remnants of a fire. But, like after a wild fire, something beautiful always tends to pop up. You captured this image beautifully!
