You Have Crossed The 20th Century And You’re Now In The New Millenium Witnessing The Beauty Of Nature Again And Again …

There is so much beauty in our world. I have been around for some time, witnessing the changes to our planet, focusing on the ARCTIC.

What Is The Next Project Or Goal Of The Photographer, Documentarist, Interpreter And Nature Lover Ragnar Axelsson?

Photographers, artists, scientists and filmmakers must work to open people’s eyes and to make them think about the future for the next generation.
