EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by REUTERS photographer Ali Jarekji, a group of camels can be seen seeking shelter next to a plastic sheet in order to protect themselves from the cold and heavy rainfall near Amman, Jordan. The image beautifully depicts the resilience and adaptability of these majestic animals as they navigate their way through challenging weather conditions. Taken on December 9,2009, this photograph holds even greater significance as it symbolizes hope for Jordan's water resources. Local newspapers reported that the country was no longer under an immediate threat of drought thanks to days of heavy rainfall. The downpour had raised dam storage levels to nearly half their total capacity at the beginning of the winter season. The juxtaposition between nature's harsh elements and the resourcefulness displayed by both humans (through providing protection) and animals (by seeking shelter) is truly remarkable. It serves as a reminder that even in adverse circumstances, life finds a way to persevere. This powerful image not only highlights environmental factors but also sheds light on societal aspects. By showcasing how people care for and protect animals during difficult times, it emphasizes our interconnectedness with nature and our responsibility towards preserving it. Ali Jarekji's skillful composition captures both vulnerability and strength within one frame, leaving viewers with a sense of awe for these resilient creatures while also inspiring contemplation about our own relationship with the environment.
