EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ricardo Moraes, a parched tree stands tall and solitary against the hazy cityscape of Cuiaba, Brazil. Taken on August 26,2010, during a period when warm dry air dominated most of the country, the image showcases the stark contrast between nature's resilience and urbanization's impact on the environment. The low angle view emphasizes the tree's prominence in this desolate scene. Its branches reach out like skeletal fingers against a backdrop of buildings and housing structures. The moon hangs delicately in the sky above, casting an ethereal glow over the entire composition. This photograph captures both beauty and melancholy simultaneously. The dried-up tree symbolizes nature's struggle to survive amidst increasing air pollution and changing meteorological patterns. Yet there is also a sense of hope as it stands strong against these challenges. Moraes' creative use of light highlights every intricate detail - from each branch to every leafless silhouette - creating a picturesque landscape that evokes contemplation about our relationship with nature. This stunning image serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve our natural surroundings. It invites us to reflect upon how we can find harmony between urban development and environmental sustainability for future generations to enjoy.
