A man walks in Barra da Tijuca beach during the sunrise in Rio de Janeiro
A man walks in Barra da Tijuca beach during the sunrise in Rio de Janeiro January 31, 2014. This has been the hottest January on record in parts of Brazil, and the heat plus a severe drought has fanned fears of water shortages, crop damage, and higher electricity bills that could drag down the economy during an election year for President Dilma Rousseff.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ricardo Moraes, a lone figure gracefully strolls along the picturesque Barra da Tijuca beach during the enchanting sunrise in Rio de Janeiro. The warm hues of the rising sun paint a breathtaking backdrop against the tranquil waters and golden sands, creating an ethereal atmosphere that is both soothing and invigorating. However, behind this serene scene lies a deeper story. Taken on January 31,2014, during what was recorded as the hottest January ever experienced in certain parts of Brazil, this image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by the nation at that time. A severe drought coupled with scorching temperatures had instilled fears of water shortages, crop damage, and soaring electricity bills - issues that could potentially impact Brazil's economy during an election year for President Dilma Rousseff. Through his lens, Moraes encapsulates not only the natural beauty of Rio de Janeiro but also highlights how environmental factors can intertwine with political and economic concerns. This photograph stands as a testament to both resilience and vulnerability; it symbolizes mankind's ability to find solace amidst adversity while urging us to address pressing environmental issues for our collective future.
