Swiss Salamander Strikes a Pose - A Magical Underwater Illusion!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Franco Banfi, we are transported to the enchanting Bedretto valley in Switzerland. Behold the mesmerizing beauty of a Wild Alpine newt (Ichthyosaura alpestris) as she gracefully glides through the crystal-clear waters of River Ticino. With her vibrant colors and delicate features, this female salamander effortlessly steals the spotlight. Her sleek body perfectly blends with the surrounding freshwater, creating an optical manhole that seems straight out of a fairy tale. As if performing for an underwater audience, she showcases her elegance and poise. Observe closely and you'll witness a fascinating phenomenon known as Snell's Window – nature's own magical illusion! Through this natural "window" our little amphibian friend appears larger than life, casting an ethereal glow upon her surroundings. The Western European Alps provide an idyllic backdrop for this stunning creature's aquatic dance. The picture-perfect scenery reminds us why Switzerland is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. Franco Banfi has truly captured a moment that transcends reality itself - where dreams meet nature's wonders. So dive into this extraordinary snapshot and let your imagination swim alongside our graceful alpine newt!
