ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This striking black and white photograph captures the minimalist November beauty of a freezing Lake Pielinen. The interplay of dark and subtle grey tones conveys a deep sense of calm and the vast, cold expanse, with the distant treeline grounding the ethereal scene. A timeless moment of Nordic serenity. Lake Pielinen is located in North Karelia and is the fourth largest lake in Finland.
