"An enormous bird, almost certainly the great grey owl that had hooted overhead the other evening, glinted above me in the firelight for a moment. The feeling that it had a message or hint for me grew still stronger. When I looked down there was nothing but darkness, but up above me was a whole glittering universe. I thought about the heat and cold of those worlds of light and darkness, and of the radiation that puts an end to everything. I thought about the Earth, protected by the atmosphere that we breathe, our home star, on the shadowy side of which the owls and a man who had lost his enjoyment in life were going about their business on a ridge thrust out into a bog." Jorma Luhta describes unforgettable moments spent in the forest at night, examining the wonders of nature and the depths of the human mind. The biting cold, the darkness and the northern wilderness, far away from the light pollution of roads and built-up areas, together create a framework for amazing photographs of the forest and sky at night as captured by the author’s camera and for moving personal recollections. Jorma Luhta is a master of images and words, and with Starry Nights he once again takes his place as one of the doyens of Finnish nature photography and a creator of tense narratives. WWF has chosen the book as the "Finnish Nature Book of the Year, 2009": Press release (in Finnish).
