Island of Multitude

Through various ways I got to the island. The two-dimensional outline, usually seen from the mainland, is suddenly a three-dimensional space. Climbing over the gravel piles, Uuluti opens up. The view that opens seems like a diverse miniature landscape. In front of me are a small shallow lake, beach, grassland, groves and hills. The first thing that anyone can notice on the island is the smell. It’s a mix of freshness of the open sea and stagnating mud from the shallow pits with a tiny spice of juniper. The colour of the island depends on the season. In the summer the deep green of junipers alternates with the lighter grassland green which in turn is divided with strokes of white from the gravel and dried mud. The colour of the junipers stays the same throughout the year but the grassland changes from fresh green to worn-out yellow to white-ness the snow. https://www.karlkaisel.com/
