EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Rafael Marchante, the power of nature is beautifully captured as waves crash against the coast of Sao Mateus in Azores. Through a window pane, we catch a glimpse of people observing this mesmerizing spectacle. The image perfectly encapsulates the intensity and unpredictability of Hurricane Lorenzo, which was wreaking havoc on the Azores islands at that time. The composition is strikingly creative, with the window acting as a frame within a frame. The glass acts as both a barrier and an invitation to witness the forces of nature firsthand. The silhouettes of individuals standing behind the window add depth and mystery to the scene, their presence indistinct yet palpable. As raindrops cling to the exterior surface of the glass, blurring our view ever so slightly, we are reminded of how fragile our human existence can be when faced with such raw natural power. The sky above appears ominous but also strangely beautiful in its tumultuous shades. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in moments where we feel small and insignificant compared to Mother Nature's might, there is still awe-inspiring beauty to be found. It invites us to contemplate our place within this vast environment and reflect on our relationship with weather patterns that shape our lives.
