#22 "Way to Udina"
Udina stratovolcano captured from a volcanic cone in the area of the Tolbachik volcano, in the Kamchatka peninsula. The image portrays also a little way that apparently leads to it, crossing a valley of ash and cinder. The Udina stratovolcano is almost 3000 mt tall and in that moment was illuminated by the shy light of the sunset, as very often during those days the light was filtered by the mist. I went on that volcanic cone two times, once in the afternoon and once before the sunset and, as that road leading to Udina immediately caught my attention, I took the same image in both my ascents to the cone.
I visited the abyss of Earth in the Kamchatka peninsula in 2019. This collection includes volcanic landscapes of the territory in Far East Russia, seen from above, or closer, sometimes in contrast with the green nature of our Planet. In Kamchatka there is a continuous contrast with life and death, destruction. When I ventured in those pristine landscapes, together with two local guides, I lived an adventure in contact with nature, hundreds of miles from mankind, without internet or data connection. A journey which will live forever in my heart, especially for the sense of freedom I felt in front of those sceneries. This project was awarded as overall winner in MIFA awards 2020 and some of these collectible photos won several awards around the World, like International Landscape Photographer of the Year.
