Incredible pictures show how one of The Swiss Alps oldest glaciers is being protected from melting - by covering it in BLANKETS
Every summer cover the researcher the Rhone glacier in the Swiss Alps in huge white Blank. They try to minimize melting.
Experts say that the Rhone glacier has retreated in the last 150 years. they want to avoid the fact that the exposed areas less rapidly melt. The glacier is at least 11,500 years old and is very sensitive to climate changes.
It was the challenge to all of us. I have put myself on the glacier and took away a lot of time to document from different angles the photos on the one hand, on the other hand extract the art of nature with creative perspectives.
Photography and Fine Art has been my passion for many decades.
I photographed with visual and creative approaches, from pure fine art, composing to conceptual photography.
In the last couple of years, I have specialized on selected topics to my photo projects. I travel to selected countries and places.
My art projects are based on stories, myths and also special themes and personal experiences.
The picture contents are based on the fundamental questions of life and nature.
Abroad I participate in international competitions and am at international exhibitions. I have won various international prizes.
