Aline’s Story behind: “a land shaped by women”
„Ich habe für mich entschieden, dass ich bei diesem Thema nicht auf aggressive Art und Weise etwas zu ändern versuche. Aber ich werde bestimmt auch niemandem einen Gefallen tun, und damit aufhören weiterzukämpfen, oder damit aufhören, laut zu sein.“

ANA’S PYRENEAN WAY WEST – Von Meer zu Meer über die wilden Pyrenäen – PART II
Da fängt es wie auf Kommando an stark zu regnen. Jetzt ist mir klar, dass ich nicht weiterklettern kann, denn der nasse Fels, der in das weiße Loch unter mir hineinzufallen scheint, ist für mich unüberwindbar.
ANA’S PYRENEAN WAY WEST – Von Meer zu Meer über die wilden Pyrenäen – PART I
Es ist Sommer. Wie viele andere Urlauber bade ich im Mittelmeer und springe in die Wellen des Atlantik. Aber den Weg zwischen den Meeren, den lege ich zu Fuß zurück: in 35 Tagen überquere ich die Pyrenäen, das Gebirge, das sie miteinander verbindet.

The Story

The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
