The island in the frozen lake.

A drone photograph of a small island in Julsø in central Denmark, surrounded by beautiful ice formations on the lake. I can’t explain exactly why the ice looks the way it does, but that is the beauty of nature – it doesn’t always need to be explained. Sometimes, it simply needs to be appreciated.

About Artist

Karsten Bak Grosen

Im born in 1974, and I work professionally as a graphic designer. I have been working with drone photography at a hobby level since 2019. My favorite motif is the nature around Silkeborg, Denmark. The area is also known as Søhøjlandet, in the central of Jutland where I also live. I follow the ever changing of the seasons by the lakes and over the forests. I enjoy the sunsets, the clouds and colors. My pictures are real, the motifs are as nature was that day, the moment I was in that place.
