Curious eyes amid autumn colors
DESCRIPTION
As this young female arctic fox cub spotted me during her search for food on a autumnly coloured mountain slope at the edge of the tundra, she curiously but cautiously crept towards me. After she patterned me, she continued to search eagerly for food in the closer area. AUTHOR
Since my childhood I have been fascinated by wildlife and the different habitats. As a child, I lived with my parents right on the edge of the forest, which is why I was often out in the woods with them and developed a deep affection for nature. When I became a teenager, I developed a great fascination for the north of Europe and the Arctic, where I can often be found today, trying to raise awareness about the need to protect the incomparable beauty of this untamed arctic region.My greatest passion about wildlife photography is to capture the encounter between me and wild animals as familiar as possible to give the viewer an intimate and magical moment into the unique life of this mystical beings.
