Edges of Landscape 

Primeval traces 

Photographic studytrip to the primeval forests of Bialowieza, Podlaskie, Poland.

In August 2022 i went to eastern Poland to learn about the Bialowieza forest complex and its surroundings.  I visited the oldest part inside the strict reserve of the Bialowieza National Park together with a guide who showed me how a forest complex exists in myriad transitions.
