EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported away from the frenzy of the World Cup to witness the secret lives of goalposts. The image captures a serene moment as hay fills a goalpost during the traditional Cossack games outside the village of Arkhonskaya in Russia. The photographer, Eduard Korniyenko, beautifully showcases an exterior, unrecognizable open space where nature and tradition intertwine. The rural landscape is brought to life with a picturesque scene that highlights the power and beauty of nature. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and vast fields of agriculture, a lone tree stands tall, adding an atmospheric touch to this breathtaking composition. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on the game itself - or rather, its absence. Instead of soccer balls flying through these goalposts, they are filled with hay; symbolizing both reverence for tradition and creative use. Korniyenko's lens transports us into this tranquil setting where time seems to stand still. It serves as a reminder that amidst all our modern pursuits and global events like the World Cup, there exists pockets untouched by commercialism; places where simplicity reigns supreme. This stunning photograph invites viewers to appreciate not only its visual aesthetics but also reflect upon how nature can shape traditions and create moments frozen in time.
