EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chilling beauty of ice forming on a warning sign at the harbour of Versoix near Geneva. Taken on February 3,2012, during an intense cold snap that claimed the lives of 139 people across Eastern Europe and Germany, this image serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by freezing temperatures. The photograph showcases a low angle view, emphasizing the imposing presence of the icy formation against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The writing on the sign is clearly visible despite being partially covered in frost, conveying its important message: "Jumping and swimming forbidden". The creative use of natural ice formations adds an artistic touch to this otherwise cautionary scene. With no human presence in sight, this image highlights both the desolate nature of winter weather and its potential hazards. The frozen icicles hanging from above further accentuate the dangerous conditions prevalent during this cold spell. Denis Balibouse's composition skillfully captures not only the external elements but also conveys a sense of foreboding through his choice to include cloudy skies overhead. This photograph stands as a testament to nature's power and reminds us to exercise caution when faced with extreme weather conditions.
