Tundra in the myst de Fortunato Gatto de Largs (North Ayrshire)
Place: Alaska (EUA)
Description: When the myst rises at the Denali National Park, it looks like a veil trying to hide the vibrant colors of the tundra and making conifers emerge from the taiga. It's always fascinating to portray these wild places by giving them a minimalist touch.

Daydream de Andrea Pozzi de Bormio (Italia)
Place: Caddo Lake, Texas (EUA)
Description: That morning I had the impression of being immersed in a painting. As the light changed, the intricate forest of bald cypresses (Taxodium distichum) changed hues and colors too. Texas' swamps are one of the most primeval and untouched places still existing in the USA.

Congeladas de Salvador Colvée Nebot de Denia (Alicante)
Place: Serra de Gúdar (Terol)
Description: Autochthonous grasses (Poaceae) at the Serra de Gudar after a cold night at -11 degrees. The ice patterns, colours and textures on display caught my eye, so I decided to interrupt my search for wild goats and spend some time on them instead.
