Sky and earth. The village of Kospallag is located in the north of Hungary in the Pest county. This image represents a view from a window to a hill. Hills are stong landscape symbols that are taken as an icon of regional identity. Also, it provides a certain view of the surrounding, the hill itself is an element of the landscape and a part of a culture.

This is a picture of a chimney I see from my window in appartment, where I live in Poland. It is my privat, intimate and somehow sacred symbol of the landscape, I'm attached to. This chimney was a witness of important moments in my life and an unaesthetic part of modern, industry landscape, I loved. There are not only emotions streaming from my perception of this object. I find him as a sad and dominant symbol of Present (taking into consideration its general impact). From a distance of about 20km I could reach it with my eyes. In my mind it has a name "my chimney/ my place of living". This picture was taken in 2011, from my flat in Szczecin, Poland.
