EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, Francois Gohier captures the aftermath of a powerful earthquake that struck Oakland, California on October 17th, 1989. The collapsed freeway stands as a testament to the sheer force and destructive nature of this natural phenomenon.

This breathtaking image showcases the incredible power behind an earthquake and its ability to reshape even the sturdiest structures. The crumpled remains of what was once a bustling motorway now resemble an abstract work of art. It serves as a reminder that no matter how advanced our engineering may be, we are still at the mercy of our planet's unpredictable forces. While it may seem like chaos and devastation at first glance, there is something strangely beautiful about this scene. It reminds us that nature always has the upper hand and can effortlessly disrupt our carefully constructed human world. Francois Gohier's photograph freezes this moment in time forever – a hauntingly mesmerizing snapshot capturing both destruction and resilience.
