The old man on the plateau – Stiff with frost under the glow of darkness

On a snowy hill in the wilderness, the vulture stands, frozen and timeless, shaped by human hands but abandoned to the merciless grip of nature. The temperature has dropped to minus 40 degrees, and everything is covered in hoarfrost, which in winter itself has painted the world in the white veil of frost.

The sun never rises, but casts its last, faint rays along the horizon. The pastel colors of the sky – a soft mix of pink, purple and blue – contrast with the crushing cold. It provides a glimpse of warmth in a landscape where winter reigns, but offers no comfort against the icy wind that sweeps across the plateau.

The gamm is a lone guardian of the tundra, a symbol of endurance in a world of snow and silence. Behind the frost-covered doors there may be a fire, a safe haven from the endless cold, but outside all rests in a frozen stillness. The dark ages have taken hold, and the landscape lies in standby mode – awaiting the sun that will one day rise again.
