EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bogdan Cristel, we witness the resilience of people as they navigate a snow-covered road near Glodeanu Silistea village, located 75 km northeast of Bucharest. The image was taken on February 12,2012, during a period of icy weather that had engulfed Europe. The wintry scene showcases Romania's counties of Buzau, Galati, and Vrancea being severely impacted by heavy blizzards. As estimated 60,000 individuals found themselves stranded due to the relentless winter conditions. Despite these challenging circumstances, the photograph highlights the determination and spirit of those affected. The unrecognizable figures walking along the road create a sense of anonymity but also symbolize unity in facing adversity together. Against a backdrop of an overcast sky and falling snowflakes, their silhouettes stand out against nature's white canvas. This image not only captures the harshness of winter but also serves as a reminder of human strength amidst unforgiving elements. It evokes feelings of both solitude and companionship while showcasing the beauty found within snowy landscapes. Bogdan Cristel's creative use of composition allows for ample copy space around the subjects—inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences with inclement weather or contemplate broader themes such as climate change and its impact on our planet. Overall, this powerful photograph encapsulates both the challenges faced by communities during extreme weather events and humanity's ability to persevere even in freezing
