EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking image captured by Alexandros Avramidis, we witness a tense moment in Thessaloniki, Greece. The photograph showcases the aftermath of an extraordinary discovery during excavation works at a gas station—a 250 kg World War Two bomb. Transported on a military truck, the unexploded bomb is being carefully carried away following a high-stakes operation to defuse it. The composition offers a unique perspective from above, allowing viewers to fully grasp the magnitude and danger posed by this historical artifact. The absence of people in the frame intensifies the focus on the bomb itself and highlights its potential threat. The weather adds another layer of drama to the scene as dark clouds loom overhead, reflecting both nature's unpredictability and mirroring the gravity of uncovering such weaponry from our past. Avramidis' skillful use of light enhances every detail—showcasing not only the intricate construction of this deadly weapon but also emphasizing its creative repurposing as an object that symbolizes resilience and triumph over adversity. This powerful image serves as a reminder that even decades after World War Two ended, remnants of conflict still exist beneath our feet. It prompts reflection on humanity's capacity for destruction while simultaneously celebrating our ability to neutralize these dangers through careful disarmament operations like this one.
