Achill Moser invites us to participate in his fascination for the sublime natural environment. In an increasingly swiftly turning
world, we need nature as a counterbalance and measure for our own existence, as well as a source of inspiration and healing.
Forests, mountains, rivers, seas, and deserts are outstanding examples of our planet’s habitats.
Achill Moser has a good eye for the exceptional, but he is also sensitive to the simple joy we take from being on the road. He
insightfully describes the feeling that is generated whenever we submerge ourselves in the vast breadth of nature and find
ourselves in the company of new thoughts.
