EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the devastating aftermath of a bridge collapse in Chirajara, near Bogota, Colombia. Taken by Jaime Saldarriaga for Reuters Images, the image showcases the destructive power unleashed on that fateful day - January 15,2018. The collapsed bridge lies amidst a picturesque landscape, surrounded by damaged trees and an open valley. The elevated view allows us to witness the creative use of space as the once majestic structure now stands destroyed. Nature's beauty is juxtaposed with human tragedy as injured and deceased workers are left in its wake. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder of both man's ambition and his vulnerability when faced with nature's might. The atmospheric lighting highlights every detail - from the weathered mountains to the serene forest surrounding this scene of destruction. With no people present in this frame, it emphasizes how quickly life can change and how fragile our creations truly are. Jaime Saldarriaga skillfully captures not only the physical damage but also evokes emotions through his lens. This print tells a story of loss and resilience against nature's forces while showcasing the inherent beauty found even within such devastation.
