The tussocks of grass along the "house ponds of Kampina nature reserve" are still half covered with snow and the water is under a wafer-thin layer of ice. The low winter sun pierces dazzlingly through the ground mist. This creates beautiful, bright colours and contrasts between the yellow/orange of the grass pollen and the blue shadows in the snow on the same pollen. The low-lying sun also conjures up beautiful, deep contrasts on the ice surface of the fen, accentuating details. Thus, a spectacle of light and shadow, and colour tones, forms. At the same time, the haze creates a beautiful depth in the overall image, and pleasant to look at: an image to enjoy for a long time without becoming tedious or distracting.
