Best Entries: 2017 National Geographic Nature Photographer Of The Year
”This photo was made in my hometown, Thiersee, a small village in the heart of the alps. I had to wait until Lake Thiersee, which is frozen all winter, began to melt in the spring. For just a few days you can see these natural patterns in the melting ice—but not without a drone. So I told my daughter to make a boat trip with her red kayak.”
