«  Camargue, the beauty of creation » is the second opus in the Camarguaise trilogy. It is an album book entirely designed by photographer-reporter Hans Silvester, in which each photo has been carefully selected for a magnificent composition.

«  As you turn the pages, you discover the construction of a story where man is absent and nature has been able to express itself without restraint to set the scene for aquatic expanses. This area between land and sea is a balance between salt and fresh water, dotted with tender-blue saladelles, almond-green salicornia, golden-haired reeds, magenta tamarisks, bright-blue forget-me-nots... enlivened by rustic horses, graceful herons, pink flamingos... »

Pierre Jaccaud.

Hans Silvester takes us to the heart of the wild Camargue he discovered on his first trip there in the early 60s, riding a Vespa from Lörrach, his hometown in the Black Forest. Welcomed by two gardians who were to become his friends, he was able, by dint of patience, observation and his eyes, to gain acceptance for this nature still untamed by man.  This is the story of the Camargue in winter, with its calm ponds, empty beaches and cold sand. However, this album was created not only for its aesthetics, but also for its message. Indeed, Hans Silvester, a historical activist, has decided to use his many photos to highlight the importance of protecting the flora and fauna that make the Camargue so beautiful, and that offer us grandiose landscapes every day.

Hans Silvester's talent and the beauty of these landscapes make this fascinating album book a real eye-opener.

Photos can be individually printed in limited editions, numbered and signed by the artist in various formats.
