Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2025 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This image embodies the serene companionship between the lake's fragmented edges and the morning mist. In the distance, veiled in the fog, rises the tower of St. Johannes Church, built in 1124, its silhouette a quiet reminder of the timeless union between humanity and nature. Surrounded by towering trees, the church stands as a silent witness to the passing of time, where the whispers of the past merge with the tranquil embrace of the natural world. It is a moment where history and nature intertwine, bathed in the soft, ethereal light of dawn.
