EDITORS COMMENTS
In a haunting scene that speaks volumes about the resilience of nature, a cow stands alone in an abandoned house in the village of Rancho Redondo near San Jose, Costa Rica. The photograph captured by Juan Carlos Ulate on March 25,2016, showcases the stark contrast between man-made ruins and the untamed beauty of wildlife. Through a broken window, we see the cow's silhouette against the backdrop of an expansive sky. Its presence within this desolate environment is both striking and poignant. The dilapidated walls bear witness to human neglect while this hoofed mammal calmly gazes into the camera lens with unwavering determination. The image prompts reflection on our relationship with nature and how it endures despite our destructive tendencies. It serves as a reminder that even amidst abandonment and destruction, life finds a way to persist. This creative use of photography captures not only an animal but also tells a larger story about environmental degradation and its impact on both humans and animals alike. Ulate's powerful composition invites us to contemplate our responsibility towards preserving natural habitats for all creatures who call Earth their home. In this single frame frozen in time, we are confronted with questions about our own role in shaping landscapes - will we continue down a path that leads to more abandoned houses or will we choose to protect these spaces for future generations?
