In Greek mythology, the god 'Aether' was ruler of the atmosphere, the privileged user of the higher light blue pure air layers. We mortals are always looking for it, but we are condemned to inhale the most polluted lower air layer of the atmosphere. Is pure air increasingly becoming a privilege for the most deserted places on earth? The alchemy of light and air, wind and water led to impressive images with a surreal colour scheme, pure poetry.
