The best Polish authors of nature photography were invited to present their works related to this theme. Thanks to the positive response to this invitation, the exhibition consists of excellent, intriguing photograms by Adam Adamski, Michał Ludwiczak, Łukasz Łukasik, Tomasz Ogrodowczyk, Magdalena Sarat, Dariusz Sarnowski, Ryszard Sąsiadek, Radosław Trzciński, Marek Trzeciak and Wojciech Wójcik.
