Frozen Leaves and Snow at Suomenlinna Dusk in on a wind-scoured ridge near Suomenlinna, Helsinki

Frozen Leaves and Snow at Suomenlinna Dusk

by Anastasia Wyatt

Deep shadow swallows the wind-scoured ridge near Suomenlinna while a sharp rim light outlines the back of a polar bear. The animal stands amidst fallen autumn leaves that contradict the dead of winter, yet snowflakes drift down around it. Every falling leaf and snowflake hangs motionless in midair, frozen in a sudden halt of time. The bear's fur catches the faint twilight glow, against the dark stone of the historic fortress walls nearby. Dust lifts softly from the ground, suspended like static clouds. One snowflake rests against the bear's shoulder, its edges sharp against the dark fur.
