30 Winning Photos Of The 2021 Nature Photographer Of The Year Awards
29. Runner-Up, Landscape: “The Prow” By Andrea Pozzi
“The Puna is a high desert plateau, where some of the most surreal desert scenery of the planet is found. Here’s the “Campo de Piedra Poméz”, a massive white pumice stone labyrinth, result of a volcanic explosion that spread ashes and debris that were immediately crystallized. Many years of erosion have carved these porous rocks into surreal formations surrounded by an ocean of black sand. That morning I got lost in a labyrinth of forms captured by a whirlwind of inspiration. In these places I found artists and writers of the past hidden in every detail… It was a dreamlike morning that I will never forget. The shape of these wind-sculpted stones reminded me of the prow of a ship.”
