Flower Photo Competition 5 2018 : Entry Number 51
Photographers Comment
Hello! My name is Francois Prevost. I captured this image last summer, in the Inuit settlement of Pond Inlet, on the northern tip of Baffin Island in Canadian Arctic. I used a Nikon D750 with a Nikkor 24-120mm. These flowers are very important for the Inuits. They used them as a candle wick for their oil lamps during the cold and dark seasons. For me, the delicacy of these flowers in such a harsh environment represents the fragility of Arctic environments facing climate changes.
