EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene on Aoshima Island in southern Japan, where a delightful army of cats has taken over. The picturesque harbour is teeming with these feline rulers, outnumbering humans by an astonishing six to one. Taken on February 25,2015, this image showcases the unique relationship between nature and civilization. As we gaze at the abandoned houses and fishing village in the background, it becomes evident that these adorable creatures have made themselves at home in every nook and cranny. Some can be seen lazily curling up inside empty buildings while others confidently strut around as if they own the place. The charm of this remote island lies not only in its scenic beauty but also in its harmonious coexistence with these furry inhabitants. It's as if time stands still here; a serene oasis where cats reign supreme. Photographer Thomas Peter perfectly encapsulates this extraordinary sight that seems straight out of a storybook. With his lens capturing their playful antics and mysterious allure, he invites us into their world for just a moment. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of how nature can reclaim spaces once occupied by humans and create something truly magical. It is an invitation to marvel at the wonders of our planet and appreciate even the smallest creatures who call it home.
