EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark reality of the ongoing drought in rural Australia. The image showcases a boat ramp leading to the drought-affected Split Rock Dam near Tamworth, creating a powerful visual representation of the water shortage crisis that has plagued this region. Taken on September 23,2019, by Jonathan Barrett, this photograph beautifully portrays the arid landscape and its impact on both land and sky. The composition skillfully juxtaposes elements of nature against man-made infrastructure. The dry ground and soil surrounding the boat ramp serve as a reminder of the harsh conditions faced by farmers and communities in this area. The clear blue sky overhead accentuates the severity of this environmental challenge. Despite its desolation, there is an undeniable beauty in nature's resilience showcased within this image. The rolling hills in the background add depth to the scene while hinting at better times when these lands were lush with greenery. By creatively utilizing various elements such as landscape, environment, and weather patterns, Jonathan Barrett successfully captures both despair and hope within a single frame. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our planet's vulnerability to climate change while also highlighting humanity's ability to adapt and find solutions for a sustainable future.
