EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remnants of a bygone era in Aweil, South Sudan. The disused railway, built by British Colonialists during their rule, stands as a testament to the region's history and development. As one gazes upon the image, they are transported back in time to an age when this rail line was bustling with activity. The railway stretches out into the distance, its tracks disappearing on the horizon. Nature has begun to reclaim what was once man-made; overgrown vegetation now engulfs parts of the track, reminding us of the passage of time and how things change. A sense of awe and nostalgia fills the air as we ponder about all those who traveled along these rails - traders carrying goods from distant lands or families embarking on new adventures. This railway served as a lifeline for communities in rural South Sudan, connecting them to larger cities and markets. Today, however, it remains abandoned and silent. The disuse is a poignant reminder that progress can sometimes be fleeting. Yet amidst this abandonment lies beauty - an opportunity for reflection on our shared human history and resilience. As we admire this photograph taken by TM from Discover Images by AWL, we are reminded that even in stillness there is movement – movement within ourselves as we contemplate our pasts and imagine what could have been if these tracks were still alive with trains traversing through Aweil once again.
