This photo was taken at Halistenkoski in Turku, where large numbers of small fish occasionally swim upstream. During these times, the gulls have a feast, and you can see plenty of them fishing above the rushing waters of the rapids. The surrounding area is a beautiful cultural landscape, and it’s wonderful that you can enjoy nature so close to the city—even though this environment is heavily shaped by human influence. Still, I find it much more diverse than, for example, commercial forests dominated by monocultures. However, the noise from passing cars can be unpleasant, especially during rush hours when people are commuting to and from work.

Depuis que j'ai commencé à photographier, j'ai toujours aimé les silhouettes, les lumières rasantes du soir ou du matin. Les contres et frisants. J'adore ces ambiances. Lors d'un récent voyage en Finlande, j'ai eu l'immense privilège de rencontrer cette maman ourse juste avant la tombée de la nuit. Pour moi, ce fut un moment inoubliable.
