EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unease and tension that looms over Norway's border with Russia. Standing tall in the Pasvik valley of Finnmark county, an observational tower overlooks the vast expanse where these two nations meet. The image portrays a cold and serene landscape, blanketed in snow and surrounded by a dense forest. The observer is immediately drawn to the elevated view from the tower, offering a breathtaking perspective of this remote region. The sky above is clear, contrasting against the icy natural surroundings. In this isolated setting, one can't help but feel alone amidst such beauty in nature. The presence of military infrastructure hints at the underlying concerns that exist between these neighboring countries. A lone building stands as a testament to heightened tensions while also showcasing creative use of space within this rural landscape. Despite its tranquil appearance, there is an unmistakable sense of urgency conveyed through this photograph. The frozen mountain peaks on the horizon line serve as a reminder that even amidst picturesque scenery, geopolitical realities persist. With no people visible in sight, wildlife reigns supreme in this untouched environment. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both humanity's impact on nature and our collective responsibility to preserve it for future generations. Maxim Shemetov's skillful composition captures not only the physicality but also the atmospheric mood surrounding Norway's border with Russia. It prompts viewers to reflect upon larger themes such as territorial disputes and environmental conservation while appreciating the sheer beauty found within our world’s most remote corners.
