IMS Photo Contest 2014 powered by BMW
Motto
"Mountain.Four.Elements" -
The mountains with their impressive dimensions and sometimes intimidating shapes have always caused controversial feelings in human beings. For some they have a rather frightfully monumental effect, other are fascinated and attracted by them. The mountain appears immutable. It is the interplay with the nature, which creates always new perspectives and captivating spectacles
Earth. Water. Air. Fire.The four elements shape the rock and design new and spectacular forms. Venture out, to the most remote places on earth, looking for particular snapshots of the mountain in play with one or more of the 4 elements. Thunderstorms, clouded sky, pristine springs, ice needles, ray of sunlight, lava flows and more…The 4 elements present themselves in endless forms and acts. But don´t forget the protagonist of your picture should be the mountain.
