Gold and Silver
Having speared a small fish, an anhinga bursts through the water’s surface in Brazil’s Pantanal wetland. The evening sun paints its neck in molten gold, perfectly offsetting the silver shimmer of its catch. Dark waters, shaded by overgrowing vegetation, form a deep, contrasting background.

About Artist
Fabian Meckl
I lost my heart to the wild and have been using a camera to share my passion for nature since I was seven. My current project "Once Upon a Time in the Wild" is both love letter and eulogy to the world’s astonishing animals and the wild places they inhabit — unapologetic in its display of nature’s beauty, yet tinged with melancholy about our destructive influence on the foundations of life on Earth.
