This architectural landscape, shot in winter, is reminiscent of a fortress exposed to the cold wind. The long exposure time gives the sky a sense of movement, creating a composition of stillness and strength.

The shadows on the wall on the right are those of leafless trees, silently bearing witness to the stillness of winter.

The cold tones and sharp geometry depict a balance between hardness and fragility.
