Death and Beauty

"Come to the sunset tree!

The day is past and gone;

The woodman's axe lies free,

And the reaper's work is done."

 

John Milton

 

Strange creatures roam the night and as a nightscaper I have met a few of them. At this scenic dead tree in the Swiss Alps I met the creepiest of all. Fortunately, he was just there to enjoy the view.

 

Another fun shooting with Alex Forst and Benjamin Barakat. Special thanks to Alex for bringing along the costume and posing as the reaper.
