EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a meteor streaks past the stars in the velvety night sky over the enchanting village of Kuklici. Nestled near Kratovo, 80 km east from Skopje, this picturesque village is renowned for its hundreds of naturally formed stones that strikingly resemble human beings. The celestial spectacle captured here occurred on August 13,2012, during the annual Perseids meteor shower when our planet traverses a trail of space debris left by comet Swift-Tuttle. Photographer Ognen Teofilovski skillfully employed a long exposure technique to immortalize this breathtaking moment. The low angle view emphasizes the shooting star's ethereal journey through an expansive universe filled with distant galaxies and the mesmerizing Milky Way. This composition evokes serenity and invites contemplation as we marvel at nature's wonders. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate the beauty in nature showcased within this image. Creative use of copy space draws attention to both the meteor and Kuklici's unique stone formations while highlighting their harmonious coexistence with Earth's environment. Teofilovski's photograph captures not only a fleeting celestial event but also serves as a reminder of our place in the vast cosmos. It reminds us to cherish and protect our natural surroundings amidst weather patterns that shape our world’s ever-changing beauty.
