Ashes and Snow

Rate: 38 Flag

 Ashes and Snow is a photographic collection by Gregory Colbert. I love them not only for their beauty, but for their portrayal of the relationship between animals and humanity. They have such a soothing quality that I thought I'd share a few of them here for those who aren't familiar with Colbert's work, in the hope that you may get from the photographs what I do - peace.
