2010: The Wildlife Photojournalist Award - Specially Commended
Kai Fagerström (Finland)
The house in the woods
The sun's last rays bounce off the old windowpanes, as though a fire roars within. But this old house near Salo, Finland has long been deserted. The roof has holes, the walls are crumbling and draughts hiss through the windows. Floorboards crack, and doors creak. But if you hang around until dusk, if you listen and watch and are patient, you may glimpse inhabitants, because when people move out, nature moves in.
