Keeping To A Photograph Theme,

but at a completely opposite location, 


 from the dry heat of the salt flats to the ice, wind and chill of Greenland, Iceland, and Norway,

 photographer Jan Erik Waider splits his time between Hamburg, Germany and traveling through the harsh and unpredictable climate of Nordic countries,

 in each of these locations Waider seeks the most remote and hidden locations, wishing to present rarely seen perspectives of the native landscape to a larger audience,

 for more than a decade he has captured the monumental beauty of northern glaciers, isolating their color and shape in a way that makes the icy cliffs appear almost extraterrestrial,

 like In one ongoing series titled Remnants

 Waider finds abandoned pieces of icebergs that lay like “stranded whales” on Iceland’s south coast, 

 “Powerful waves wash around them and drag them further ashore, after they drifted aimlessly in the sheltered lagoon for months,” he explains, 

 “The colors tell stories about age and density, and they speak of the history of the volcanoes that let black ash rain down and darkened the skies.”

 what totally different, but in their own way, stunning photographs,

  Waider offers prints of his personal photographs on his website

and no I am not on commision, I just find these as the previous post so out of our world,

You can view more images from his northern expeditions on InstagramTwitter, and Behance.
