EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing contrast between two powerful forces of nature - the wildfires and the Northern Lights. Taken near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada on May 7,2016, photographer Mark Blinch skillfully portrays this breathtaking scene from a low angle view. The wildfires glow fiercely underneath the ethereal dance of colors known as the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. In this creative use of composition, Blinch showcases the beauty in nature's duality. The vibrant hues of green and purple from the Aurora Borealis illuminate the night sky while casting an enchanting shadow over the raging forest fire below. This juxtaposition creates a striking visual narrative that highlights both destruction and magnificence. The absence of human presence enhances our appreciation for these natural phenomena. With no people in sight, we are reminded of how insignificant we are compared to Mother Nature's grandeur. The silhouette of trees against this atmospheric backdrop adds depth to the image and emphasizes its Canadian origin. Blinch's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our environment's vulnerability to such events but also celebrates its resilience and enduring beauty. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time where two opposing forces collide with awe-inspiring results - an extraordinary spectacle that leaves us humbled by nature's power and artistry.
