EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pavel Rebrov, we witness the surreal sight of a train traversing the desolate expanse of a drained area within Sasyk-Sivash lake. Once utilized for salt production near the city of Yevpatoria in Crimea, this unique landscape showcases an extraordinary blend of industry and nature. The image portrays an otherworldly scene where the train's metallic body glides effortlessly across what was once submerged beneath water. The reflection on its sleek surface mirrors the surrounding environment, blurring the boundaries between air and water. With no human presence to be seen, it evokes a sense of solitude amidst this vast terrain. Rebrov's creative use of composition highlights both the harshness and beauty found in this abandoned setting. The weathered tracks leading into infinity symbolize resilience against time's relentless passage while emphasizing mankind's imprint on nature. As our gaze lingers upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of how human activity can shape landscapes and leave lasting impressions on our surroundings. It prompts us to reflect upon our relationship with the environment and consider how we can strike a balance between progress and preservation. Through his lens, Rebrov invites us to contemplate not only the visual spectacle before us but also deeper questions about humanity's impact on fragile ecosystems like Sasyk-Sivash lake.
