Spring thaw on the flanks of the Karymsky Volcano. A winter of snowfall interspaced with ash puffed from the volcano and then the whole lot melted through by the thin spring sunshine creates a bizarre
posterised
effect.
Somewhere in this picture can be seen the tiny footprints of a Kamchatka Brown Bear. There are no humans out walking in the vast empty
wilderness
of Kamchatka in Russia's (very, very) Far East.
Shot for the magazine of luxury watch maker 'Patek Philippe.’
