EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jim Young, we witness a daring climber ascending a silo covered in glistening ice in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The frigid January weather has transformed the exterior of the silo into a frozen playground for thrill-seekers. The owners have ingeniously connected hoses to the top of the structure and spray it with water during winter months, creating an icy surface perfect for climbing. From a low angle view, we observe the climber's silhouette against the backdrop of a clear blue sky adorned with sun rays. Alone in their pursuit, they navigate their way up using only their body parts as tools amidst the snow-covered surroundings. This creative use of nature and building showcases both human determination and our ability to find adventure even in seemingly ordinary places. The image serves as a reminder of how nature can be harnessed for recreational purposes while also highlighting its inherent dangers. As we marvel at this fearless individual conquering new heights on an icy canvas, we are reminded of both the beauty and risks that come with exploring our environment during winter months. Jim Young's photograph captures not just a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the spirit of those who seek solace and excitement within Mother Nature's wintry embrace.
