EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Vasily Fedosenko, a bountiful harvest of blueberries is showcased in a picturesque marsh near the village of Borki. The vibrant hues of these gathered blueberries create an enchanting sight against the lush green backdrop of nature. Located approximately 220 km southwest of Minsk, Belarus, this serene setting serves as a haven for villagers who diligently gather these delicious fruits. Each day, they manage to collect an impressive 10 to 15 kilograms (22 to 33 pounds) of blueberries from this abundant marshland. The significance and value attached to these berries are evident as they are sold for 18,000 Belarussian roubles ($2.30) per kilogram. This not only highlights the economic importance but also emphasizes the deep-rooted connection between nature's offerings and local livelihoods. Fedosenko's photograph beautifully captures both the environmental and social aspects associated with this scene. It symbolizes how communities rely on their natural surroundings for sustenance while simultaneously showcasing their harmonious relationship with nature. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst our fast-paced world, there are still places where people depend on traditional practices and live in harmony with their environment. It encapsulates the essence of rural life in Belarus - one that cherishes its rich natural resources while nurturing close-knit communities rooted in tradition and resilience.
