EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dinuka Liyanawatte, the colossal crane stands tall against the backdrop of a shimmering blue sky. The image showcases the awe-inspiring construction site at Colombo Port City in Sri Lanka, where sand is being dredged from the sea. As Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's visit coincided with this momentous occasion, his presence adds significance to the scene. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable. The contrast between the dark shadows cast by the crane and its vibrant exterior creates a striking visual effect. The night air seems to have transformed into an ethereal glow, enveloping both land and sky. Liyanawatte's creative use of lighting highlights not only the surface beauty but also hints at a deeper connection with nature and environment. The absence of people allows us to focus on the sheer magnitude of this building site while contemplating our place within such grandeur. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how human ingenuity can shape our surroundings and create unique landscapes that harmonize with natural phenomena. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to transform their vision into reality while respecting and preserving our planet. With its vast horizon line stretching towards infinity, this photograph invites us to ponder upon our own aspirations and dreams amidst an ever-changing weather pattern that mirrors life itself – unpredictable yet full of potential.
