EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ricardo Moraes, a parched tree stands tall amidst the hazy cityscape of Cuiaba in midwest Brazil. Taken on August 26,2010, the image portrays a stark contrast between nature and urbanization. As a large mass of warm dry air dominates most parts of Brazil during this time, low air humidity can be felt across various regions including the South, Southeast, Midwest, North, and Northeast. The silhouette of the withered tree against the backdrop of towering buildings symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in an increasingly industrialized world where concrete jungles dominate landscapes, nature continues to find its place. Moraes' photograph captures not only an environmental phenomenon but also highlights the delicate balance between human development and our natural surroundings. The haze enveloping Cuiaba adds an ethereal quality to the scene while emphasizing how pollution and climate change affect our cities. This thought-provoking image prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving and protecting our environment. It reminds us that despite progress and modernity shaping our lives today, we must strive for sustainable practices that ensure harmony between urban expansion and ecological conservation.
