Intimate Winter Moments

Red foxes in the snow wasn’t the most logical subject of choice when I started my fox mission, years ago.
Snow, in my country, is some kind of…curiosity. It might snow a few days a winter, but years can go by completely snow-less as well.

People speculate, anticipate and place bets. “Would it, will it..?” They buy a sled, a pair of skates and some thick mittens.
Just in case.
The entire country starts to tingle excitedly, waiting for what might or might not come.

Then, the weather forecasts finally speak out the magic words and a wave of subdued excitement goes through the country.

“They say it’s gonna snow, did you hear it…?!”

Resistance is futile

Within a few hours, the world as we know it disappeared. Flakes are slowly taking over and resistance is futile.
This Great White has even swallowed the sounds.
There is nothing left, but an enchanting silence, like everything has always been good and always will be.
My modern, urban and slightly overcrowded world miraculously transformed into a picture from a Charles Dickens book.
The scene is flawless but still, something seems to be missing.
Some magic, some sparkle, something.

Should not every fairy-tale have its own fairy-tale figure?
A truly fascinating character, preferably both smart and funny.
Adventurous, cunning, charming and a bit naughty.
And handsome as can be, of course.

Watching the seemingly inexhaustible stream of downwards whirling snowflakes, has a soothing, almost hypnotizing effect on me.
The whiteness vanishes the ugliness. Streets are expertly covered and all objects are wrapped into countless round packages, looking like huge white toys.

White out

But what being could possibly polish up this perfect, yet slightly boring scene with a blob of colour…?
So here I am, me and my camera. There’s so much whiteness that it makes me lose my sense of time and space.
Left, right, up, down, everything is just white.

A Touch of Red

And then, while the whole world vanishes in blankness and the steadily falling snow muffles the sound of my shutter, a red fox suddenly appears on stage. A red fox in the snow! She embellishes my white canvas just so perfectly.

Never had I been happier with a little touch of red in my color palette…
I realize my fairy tale has just begun.
