Photofeed landscape contest .:. Amber rocks

24 days ago (Edited)

This capture I took back in April during a day-long hike in Karelia, across the Baltic Sea coast. It would have been an ordinary, unremarkable location, were it not for the amber-brown peat stream. It was precisely this water that colored the nearby rocks in such a whimsical, capricious hue. It also appealed to me that one bank was already covered with sprouts of fresh green grass (even a few snowdrops are visible), while the other bank was covered only with dead autumn leaves. It looks like a symbolic battle scene for me – the retreat of winter and the victory of spring.

Cнимок сделан в апреле этого года на побережье Балтийского моря. Место было бы ничем не примечательно, если бы не ручей из торфяной воды коричневого цвета, это его вода столь причудливо окрасила камни. Мне особенно понравилось то, что один берег уже покрылся ростками свежей зеленой травы (даже видны подснежники!), а на другом только мертвые осенние листья. Выглядит как символическая картина военных действий - отступления зимы и победы весны.
