The end of the day...
The dawning Arctic night
Quantity:
Another moment suspended in the fragile Arctic light, as day almost entirely disappears behind the snow-capped mountains. The fjord becomes a dark mirror, contrasted by the black dorsal fins of the orcas moving together in perfect harmony.
The light is sparse, bluish, almost unreal. Silhouettes stand out against a silent atmosphere, where every breath becomes visible in the icy air. It is a scene of transition: the end of a polar day and the beginning of the Arctic night, that time when the boundary between light and darkness blurs.
This photograph conveys the gentle weariness of the end of the day, the return of calm after the intense activity of the previous hours. It tells the story of a moment of rest, of cohesion, of quiet presence — the very essence of the social life of orcas.
