EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ralph Orlowski, German police can be seen patrolling the streets of Braunschweig, a northern German town. The image was taken on February 15,2015, during a time of heightened tension and security concerns. A planned carnival parade in Braunschweig had to be abruptly cancelled due to an imminent threat of an Islamist attack. The photograph showcases the vigilant presence of law enforcement officers as they navigate through the urban cityscape. Against the backdrop of historic buildings and colorful decorations associated with the carnival festivities, these dedicated policemen stand out in their distinctive uniforms. The composition highlights various elements that contribute to the overall atmosphere: from the concrete structures lining both sides of the road to small air balloons floating above them. The zebra crossing adds a touch of everyday life amidst this extraordinary situation. Although no people are visible in this particular shot, it is evident that public safety remains paramount. This image serves as a reminder not only of the challenges faced by authorities but also their commitment towards protecting communities even during times when celebrations are disrupted. Ralph Orlowski's skillful capture immortalizes a moment where security forces take center stage against an uncertain backdrop—a testament to resilience and dedication in safeguarding society from potential threats.
