EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Eloy Alonso, the sheer power and beauty of nature are on full display as crashing waves relentlessly batter against a majestic lighthouse in Viavelez, northern Spain. The image, taken on January 21,2015, transports us to a moment frozen in time when the forces of the ocean clash with human engineering. The lighthouse stands tall and unwavering amidst the tumultuous sea, serving as a symbol of resilience and protection for seafarers navigating treacherous waters. Its stoic presence is juxtaposed against the dynamic energy emanating from each wave that crashes against its sturdy structure. The photographer's skillful composition allows us to witness this extraordinary encounter between man-made architecture and untamed natural elements. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the salty mist carried by gusts of wind brushing our faces. We become immersed in the scene's raw intensity; it evokes both awe-inspiring wonder and a sense of vulnerability before Mother Nature's might. Alonso's lens captures not only an impressive visual spectacle but also invites contemplation about humanity's relationship with nature. It serves as a reminder that even our most formidable creations are ultimately subject to the whims of Earth’s powerful forces. This remarkable image offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on their place within this vast world while appreciating both mankind’s ingenuity and nature’s unyielding force.
