Scream of the Forest

Lasu Krzyk – Arkadiusz Dalak

“Lasu Krzyk” – winter aerial view of a frozen pond in Łódź’s Arturówek.This is one of the largest forest areas within city limits in Europe (1,205.45 ha). When this shape appeared on the screen of my controller, I couldn’t believe my own eyes! It immediately reminded me of one of E. Munka’s works. Nature managed to create such images by itself! It’s as if the forest wanted to tell us something, or perhaps scream? With this post, I wanted to draw attention to nature. So that we look at it with wider-open eyes and care about it more. ©Arkadiusz Dalak.
