EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Gabriel Bouys, we are transported to the heart of Spain's vibrant cultural traditions. The image depicts a horseman fearlessly leaping over a roaring bonfire in the picturesque village of San Bartolome de Pinares, located in the province of Avila. This exhilarating moment unfolds during the opening ceremony of the revered religious festival known as "Luminarias" held annually on January 16th to honor San Antonio Abad, the patron saint of animals. The photograph beautifully encapsulates both bravery and devotion as it showcases an age-old tradition that has been passed down through generations. Against a backdrop of darkness, sparks dance in mid-air while flames illuminate the surrounding faces filled with awe and excitement. The horseman's silhouette is perfectly framed against this fiery spectacle, capturing his daring spirit and unwavering connection to his equine companion. This powerful visual narrative not only celebrates Spanish culture but also pays homage to our deep-rooted relationship with animals. It serves as a reminder that these majestic creatures hold a special place within our hearts and deserve reverence and protection. Gabriel Bouys' masterful composition transports us into this enchanting world where ancient customs intertwine with contemporary life. Through his lens, he invites us to witness firsthand how tradition can ignite passion, unite communities, and create moments that transcend time itself.
