Water has left its mark on our planet as no other element since the Earth’s creation to this day. This book of images shows water as a destructive, transporting as well as constructive and creative force in its many forms: liquid, vaporized in the clouds and frozen to ice. The motifs, mostly aerial images, have been shot on all of the five continents.
