Suppose now man has fenced off from nature, built megalopolises, in which skyscrapers have replaced mountains for him, and the lights of windows and advertisements are the starry sky. Canadian photographer Paul Zizka, in love with the Rocky Mountains, wants to remind viewers of the beauty and grandeur of northern nature with his breathtaking photographs. And to warn that no dizzying photo project can replace the personal contemplation of blue lakes, fast streams and wooded slopes.
Canadian photographers are so harsh that they have an ice ax in their optics-free hand. In any case, such is Paul Zizka - a man who not only traveled to his native Rocky Mountains, but also visited many equally rocky places around the world. Adventure, travel and outdoor activities are his strong point and hobby. And they are also the theme of his numerous photographs, among which the photographs of mountains occupy the main place. Paul Zizka can't help but share his impressions with us.
Paul Zizka lives in the small town of Banff: he moved here on purpose to go to the mountains more often. The patriot of native Canadian nature claims that here the grass is greener, the lakes are cleaner, and the peaks are more beautiful. And you can't argue looking at the wonderful photographs of the mountains.
It's great that even at the beginning of the 21st century, when the inhabitants of megalopolises walk over each other's heads, there are places where you can be alone with yourself, contemplating breathtaking views. Leave and return, watching the seasons change. And fix the changes on film.
Most of the photographs of the mountains are specially conceived to show that nature, still as indifferent and dazzling as in the time of Pushkin, always prevails over people. When a person crawls out of the city's shell and finds himself among the plains or mountains, he accepts the rules of the game. He again feels like a small ant in a huge majestic world. Above, where trees end and glaciers begin, life takes on a special quality.
Paul ižka's main advice to anyone who is going to shoot a lot during their holidays is not to get carried away exclusively with photography. The author of mountain photographic landscapes confesses that sometimes he himself begins to perceive beautiful landscapes exclusively as brilliantly constructed scenery, which must be fixed at all costs. In pursuit of a beautiful picture, the photographer sometimes forgets to feel the beauty that has opened up to him, and his gaze slides over the surface. But after all, art for the sake of art is worth nothing, only thoughts, emotions, the experience of a person with a camera and an ice ax are valuable.

After all, titles give not only privileges, but also reward responsibilities that, alas, not everyone is ready to fulfill. In addition, monarchs also cry, because status cannot protect them from not

Photos by John Fowler: only mountains can be better than mountains
