Photograph taken at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Berlin, Germany
This image shows a section of the memorial in Berlin. The tall concrete pillars form narrow paths that limit light and visibility. Walking through them can feel disorienting and quiet.
The geometry creates a sense of separation and stillness. It invites reflection—on history, on memory, and on absence.
Night shot, exposure 37 minutes (yes, more than half an hour), taken on September 22nd 2012 at the shores of lake Rosset (2.709 m), Nivolet plateau, Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy).
Geometry has been paramount in conceiving this photo:
1) bottom rectangular shape: the waters of the lake
2) center triangular areas: Col Rosset (3.025 m), Col Leynir (3.084 m), Taou Blanc (3.438 m)
3) summit semicircular area of the sky: concentric star trails toward the Polaris
shot started when the moon (phase 43%) was setting behind me and my camera, in order to get still some shades on the mountains, at least during the very first minutes of the long exposure, just to give body and three-dimensionality to the landscape.

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.
