People exercise in Barra da Tijuca beach during the sunrise in Rio de Janeiro
People exercise in Barra da Tijuca beach during the sunrise in Rio de Janeiro January 31, 2014. This has been the hottest January on record in parts of Brazil, and the heat plus a severe drought has fanned fears of water shortages, crop damage, and higher electricity bills that could drag down the economy during an election year for President Dilma Rousseff.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ricardo Moraes, we witness the breathtaking beauty of Barra da Tijuca beach in Rio de Janeiro during a serene sunrise. The golden rays of the sun illuminate the vast expanse of sand and water, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for the scene unfolding before us. Amidst this picturesque setting, individuals can be seen engaging in their morning exercise routine. Undeterred by the scorching heat that has plagued Brazil's January weather, these determined souls find solace and motivation in their physical activity. However, behind this seemingly idyllic moment lies a deeper concern. January 31,2014 marked an unprecedented milestone as it became the hottest January on record in certain regions of Brazil. This extreme heatwave coupled with a severe drought has sparked fears of impending water shortages, crop damage, and soaring electricity bills - all potential threats to Brazil's economy during an election year for President Dilma Rousseff. Ricardo Moraes' photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst moments of tranquility and personal well-being, larger environmental issues loom over our daily lives. It encapsulates both the resilience and vulnerability of humanity against nature's unpredictable forces. Through his lens, Moraes captures not only a stunning visual spectacle but also prompts us to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards safeguarding our environment for future generations.
