Author Description

"Like the roots of the old trees that I have known since I was a child, my roots plunge into the ancient mountainous land of the Vosges, weathered by the elements, eroded by water, snow and wind. By nature I am sensitive to mist and ice. The great sheets of winter fill me with awe; white fascinates me. It is not a colour but the sum of all colours. It is not a veil over the world but a world in itself. With touches of wildlife when least expected. This book is an invitation to witness special moments, mostly photographed near where I live high on the humped back of the Vosges and some taken during many recent travels around the Arctic Circle, in Canada and on the island of Hokkaido." - book jacket.
