Alfred Feil

Icy temperatures well below freezing, only a short cool summer, the most adverse conditions and yet green in green.

The boreal forests stretch as a green belt around our northern hemisphere and are the largest contiguous forests on earth. Herds of reindeer, bears and lynx often roam undisturbed through a globally unique forest landscape.

Further north in the tundra, trees no longer grow. The boreal forest - also known as the boreal coniferous forest or taiga - is the world's northernmost form of forest and stretches from Alaska across Canada and Scandinavia to Siberia. The forests, some of which are still undeveloped and difficult to reach, are the largest remaining primeval forests on earth.

Given their size, it is surprising how little we are aware of the forests of the far north and their importance. Boreal forests make up more than a third of the world's forest area and are the dominant forest type in the northern hemisphere.
The forest in the picture is located at the Stora Sjöfallet National Park in Sweden. It is part of the Laponia World Heritage Site.

Some of the very, very slow-growing trees sprouted during the Viking Age, fell in the Middle Ages and their roots are still alive. The oldest tree in Scandinavia
"Old Tjikko" is estimated to be at least 9550 years old.

Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.

Printed onto heavyweight, 100% acid-free fine art canvas to preserve color-accuracy and longevity
Created using materials and methods that exceed the rigorous technical standards required to achieve the prized "giclée" industry rating
Designed to meet the most demanding standards for color-permanence set by leading museums

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
