    Silver in Architecture / Industrial

Nothing is more fleeting than modern technology. What is the latest and most modern today can be outdated tomorrow. This may be because better technologies are developed or because studies show that supposedly modern technology is extremely harmful to the environment. This also applies to power plants that use fossil fuels to generate electricity. Studies and research have now proven that fossil fuels contribute massively to global warming. This definitely makes this type of electricity generation questionable. On the cold winter night, the cloud looked like sweet cotton candy.

"If you really love nature, you will find beauty everywhere." - Vincent Van Gogh This quote from Vincent Van Gogh is very true for me, as I am a nature person and have been creatively dealing with nature as a landscape gardener for many years. When I was on vacation, I was always traveling, whether near or far, but I always had my camera with me. This was probably the basis for my photography, which became a passion. When I'm on the move, I always have an eye open for great subjects. With impressionist photography, I found a new field of activity alongside nature and architecture.
