EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene on Aoshima Island in southern Japan. In this remote paradise, cats have taken over, outnumbering humans by a staggering six to one. The image showcases a bustling harbour filled with an army of feline residents, who seem to rule this picturesque fishing village. The abandoned houses serve as cozy retreats for these furry inhabitants, while others confidently strut about the streets. Their presence is so overwhelming that it almost feels like they are the true masters of this island. Taken on February 25,2015, by photographer Thomas Peter for Reuters Images, this photograph perfectly encapsulates the unique environment found on Aoshima Island. The depth of field and creative use of perspective allow us to see each cat's individual personality shining through as they look directly into the camera. As we gaze at this extraordinary sight, we can't help but be captivated by their beauty and charm. This image serves as a reminder of nature's ability to thrive even in unexpected places and how animals can create their own communities amidst human-dominated landscapes. It is truly a testament to the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals in this remote corner of Japan.
