Landscape nominee

This picture was taken in the north of Norway, in the Lyngen Alps.
The little cabin stands lonely by the fjord and when I was there late in the afternoon taking pictures, there was a heavenly silence and a wonderful light.

My name is Thomas Zilch, I was born in 1968 and have been taking pictures for many years. Photography is not my profession, but my passion. It is for me, in addition to a hobby, also a means of relaxation. There is (almost) nothing more beautiful than roaming through nature with my camera and capturing it in a picture. I find it fascinating to observe how it changes through the influence of the weather, the time of day and season and the light and shows itself in ever new appearances.

My passion is traveling and landscape and nature photography. I love to be in Northern Europe, for example on the Faroe Islands or the Lofoten Islands, but also the Atlantic coasts of Normandy and Brittany have done it to me. Recently, the Corona pandemic has also "motivated" me to rediscover the areas around my hometown.

My inspiration comes, on the one hand, from the joy of being outdoors and feeling the weather. On the other hand, it comes from looking at many pictures of other photographers, reading photo books and especially from personal exchange with other photographers.
