EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a partial belt of the runway at Jubbarhatti airport, nestled amidst monsoon clouds in the picturesque hill town of Shimla, located in northern India. The image was taken on July 29,2009, during the annual June-September monsoon season. The photograph showcases the unique beauty and tranquility that envelops Shimla during this time of year. The monsoon rains had initially arrived with an unusually dry phase for the first five weeks; however, there has been a noticeable improvement in rainfall over the past two weeks across most parts of India. The composition highlights nature's contrasting elements – the man-made structure of the runway against a backdrop of dramatic and billowing clouds. It is as if nature itself is reclaiming its dominion over human creations. Photographer Amit Kanwar skillfully captures this moment, showcasing not only his technical prowess but also his ability to encapsulate both environmental and societal aspects within one frame. This image serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and how it can shape our daily lives. Through this photograph, we are invited to appreciate both the grandeur of natural phenomena like monsoons and their impact on society's infrastructure. It stands as a testament to India's diverse climate patterns while reminding us to cherish and respect our environment for generations to come.
