Melody of silence

In this bluish atmosphere, the forest seems to gradually disappear into the mist. In the foreground, a few bare trees stand out with their whiteness, while in the distance the silhouettes become increasingly diffuse, almost absorbed by the landscape.

Mélodie du silence evokes those cold days when the forest seems muffled by winter. Noises seem more distant, colors tighten, and the slightest detail becomes more perceptible: a light branch, a line of trees in the mist, a variation in light.

I like this paradox contained in the title: silence is never truly empty. When the agitation fades, we become, on the contrary, more attentive to everything that surrounds us. Nature then composes its own melody, discreet, made of rustling, breath, and almost nothing.
