EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a captivating moment frozen in time. In this photograph taken by Knud Knudsen, we are transported to the breathtaking Hardanger region of Hordaland county. The image showcases a horse-drawn sledge gracefully gliding across the icy expanse of Folgefonna glacier. The monochrome tones emphasize the stark beauty of the Norwegian landscape during winter. The horses pulling the sledge appear small against the vastness of the glacier, highlighting both their strength and vulnerability in this wintry terrain. The ponies' hooves leave imprints on the pristine snow as they navigate through this challenging environment. This photograph not only showcases nature's grandeur but also provides insight into transportation methods from a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of how people used to traverse these remote regions before modern road networks were established. Knudsen's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the immense scale of nature and our place within it. As we gaze upon this historical print from "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" we can't help but marvel at how humans have interacted with their surroundings throughout history. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving such remarkable glimpses into our past without commercial intent, allowing us to connect with different times and places through visual storytelling.
