About the artwork

When autumn arrives in Swedish Lapland, the landscape is transformed into a silent poem of light and colour. This photo shows a lake in the evening light - calm, clear, with a reflective surface. The setting sun is low on the horizon, its golden light touching the water as if with a gentle brushstroke. The sky is cloudless, deep blue, with a warm orange colour at the edges. The sun star sparkles above the horizon like a final farewell to the day.

On the left edge of the picture are slender birch trees, their leaves a flaming red, glowing in the backlight. Nature seems frozen in one last luminous moment before darkness falls. In the foreground lies a rowing boat, half pulled ashore, almost as if forgotten. It brings a human trace into the quiet scene without disturbing it. On the contrary - it tells of pauses, of arriving, of listening to the water, of letting go of time.

Lapland is considered one of the last true retreats in Europe. In this northern expanse, autumn is short - but intense. The colours glow before the long winter sets in. The picture captures precisely this atmosphere: silence, clarity, transience. The reflective surface of the water, the warm light, the reddish-brown tones of the autumn vegetation - all this becomes a silent hymn to the moment.

Nature photography thrives on tranquillity here. Not a spectacle, but a pause. The composition is balanced: Water, sky, forest and boat are in dialogue. The colours harmonise - gold, blue, red and brown in silent agreement. The light creates space, the water reflects the sky, the tree frame guides the eye.
