Life can take us on a roller coaster ride full of highs and lows and twists and turns.

Imagine what it would be like to surrender certain aspects of your human world to the precision and surety of the natural environment. you can become available to witness a whole universe of miracles, while engendering a greater sense of honour between the two worlds.

"María’s photography is very much about her process of absorbing and immersing herself in and interacting with her subjects, whether they be humans or natural. In most cases the two cannot be separated, and they should not. To take a picture of nature is already in a sense making it human. Humans give meaning to nature and inMaria’s work there is a play with the notion that we are alone, yet at the same time we are never alone, because we are in-the-world and we inhabit the natural world." - @Woolphinwholphin Trolls from series Connection - Link in bio #iceland#dreamtrips#dreamland_arts_of_nature#dreamplace#trolls#cliffs#nikonphotographers#nightphotographers#icelandnature#newadventure#Fineartphotographyprints#weneednature#visualsofearth#fineartphotograph#artphotographer# white# trollsinthedaylight#surrealplaces#standingonstone#climbing#strange#darkroom_daydream (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO2mVqXgiSB/?igshid=1g7kdefc14r0l

Every day we experience a magical twilight between our dreams and waking state. During this brief period of time, our minds still remember that all things are possible.
