Cloud partially covers Rock of the British territory of Gibraltar at sunrise before
A cloud partially covers the tip of the Rock of the British territory of Gibraltar at sunrise from La Atunara port before Spanish fishermen sail in their fishing boats with their relatives to take part in a protest at an area of the sea where an artificial reef was built by Gibraltar using concrete blocks, in Algeciras bay, La Linea de la Concepcion in southern Spain August 18, 2013. For just over an hour some 30 fishing boats circled where 70 3-tonne concrete blocks were dropped in July to form a reef that Spain said was not legal and prompted the government to ramp up border checks with the British overseas territory.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a cloud partially covering the majestic Rock of Gibraltar at sunrise. The image was taken from La Atunara port, offering a picturesque view of the British territory before Spanish fishermen embarked on their protest against an artificial reef constructed by Gibraltar using concrete blocks. The photograph showcases the harmonious blend of nature and human activity as Spanish fishermen sail in their fishing boats alongside their relatives to join the demonstration. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and tranquil waters, this momentous event unfolds with passion and determination. The controversy surrounding the reef's legality is palpable in this image, as approximately 30 fishing boats encircle the area where 70 three-tonne concrete blocks were dropped to form it. Spain's opposition to this construction has led to heightened border checks between them and Gibraltar. Photographer Jon Nazca masterfully captures not only the political undertones but also highlights nature's grandeur through his creative use of composition. With no people present in frame, all attention is drawn towards the magnificent monolith that is partially veiled by a cloud formation, creating an atmospheric ambiance. This stunning photograph serves as a testament to both man-made tensions and Mother Nature's awe-inspiring presence, leaving viewers captivated by its sheer beauty and thought-provoking narrative.
