EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of a scorching hot summer day in Brussels, Belgium, this close-up photo captures a moment of respite for a thirsty pigeon. The bird delicately drinks water from a fountain, finding solace and refreshment amidst the sweltering weather. With no people in sight, it stands alone as a wild animal seeking relief from the intense heat. The creative use of depth of field highlights the pigeon's focused attention on quenching its thirst. The blurred background adds to the ambiance, emphasizing its solitary presence against an environment that seems almost deserted due to the scorching temperatures. This image serves as a reminder of how animals adapt and find ingenious ways to survive during challenging weather conditions. It also showcases nature's ability to provide sources of sustenance even in urban settings like Brussels. Captured by Johanna Geron on July 25th, 2019, this photograph beautifully encapsulates both the simplicity and resilience found within our natural world. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving such delicate ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
