Silence

There is a sense of peace and quiet in winter that you don’t get in any other season.

I have just listed 'Silence' for 0.8Ξ on the new platform looksrare.org. It is minted into my own ERC-721 smart contract; so this piece is fully decentralised and platform independent.

Deep fresh snow dampens sound in a way that must be experienced before you really understand it. The sense of quiet comes from the high porosity of loosely packed crystals of freshly fallen snow which trap sound waves. Taken in a high altitude area in Northern British Columbia in Canada.

I managed to tack this little guys tracks back to his burrow near these trees and staked it out with my 400mm lens for quite a while.

Something amazing about the deep North.

Wonderful images Robert! I also dabble in wildlife. You captured a beautiful creature. Love that snow pillow in your snow image.

Beautiful shots! I really love the first one with the whipped cream like feeling of fresh snow. The silence indeed is magical about fresh snow. 😀👍

The background of the first photo looks really amazing.

This means, the item will be available on say OpenSea too ? I didn't understand the part about own contract. The image associated is still with the looksrare ?
