TITLE: Cross Line Triangle

Below us, we stare at a study in contrasts: fluidity against stillness, light against dark, permanence against change. This photograph captures a moment in time when water and ice coexist in harmony, a fleeting balance in an ever-changing environment.
This mesmerizing composition captures the intricate dance of nature, where water and earth intertwine in a stark, icy embrace. The braided river carves its way through a snow-blanketed valley, weaving black veins of liquid against the pristine white of winter’s canvas. The meandering waterways seem alive, flowing with an ancient rhythm, as they etch patterns of fluid geometry into the frozen landscape.

The surrounding slopes rise steeply, their ridges softened by layers of snow, yet their ruggedness is still evident. These mountains stand like silent sentinels, guarding the delicate interplay below. Light spills across the scene, highlighting subtle textures in the snow while casting gentle shadows that emphasize the contours of the land and the depth of the rivers.

AUTHOR: Virgil Reglioni (France)

Virgil is from a small French town between Lyon and the Swiss border.

In June 2011, with nothing more than a bag on his back, Virgil set out to explore the world and discover his passion for the great outdoors and photography.
Throughout this time, he has lived in 7 different countries: Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Greece, Finland, Iceland, Norway, including Svalbard, in the high Arctic, and visited more than 38 others across five continents.

Virgil concentrates mainly on Arctic Landscape and Night Photography. It allows him to express his inner self and invite others to share in the spectacular and unyielding power of mother nature.

''Patience and creativity are all you need.''

Virgil is self-taught and believes in self-guided learning along with mutual knowledge sharing. His unending passion for photography and the outdoors pushes him to improve constantly, making photography part of his everyday life.
NorthernLights are a unique feature of his photography style and lead him to build robust and constructive compositions around them.

"A great aurora image is a great image even without aurora."

The photos you find in his gallery are the result of thousands of hours outside in snowstorms, strong winds, extreme temperatures, and a tremendous amount of time spent waiting on nature for that precise, extraordinary moment. Really often, the aurora is the wow effect of the photograph, the icing on the cake.
Virgil is always oriented on understanding his surroundings, finding the best angles for his compositions, and finding the right orientation to sublime the light in relation to his chosen subjects.
