EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of storm clouds looming over the picturesque skyline of Havana. Taken on September 29,2010, it showcases the intense power and beauty of nature's fury. The short-lived Tropical Storm Nicole wreaked havoc in various regions, causing flash flooding that tragically claimed eight lives in Jamaica. As the storm made its way across Cuba, there was disagreement among forecasters regarding its classification as a tropical storm. Despite Cuban meteorologist Jorge Rubiera stating on national television that "No tropical storm exists" this image tells a different story. The dark and brooding clouds convey an undeniable sense of danger and impending chaos. The photographer skillfully captures the contrast between Havana's urban landscape and the natural phenomenon unfolding above it. With no people present in the frame, all attention is drawn to the ominous sky filled with swirling grey clouds. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the destructive force and awe-inspiring beauty found within atmospheric disturbances. Desmond Boylan's composition expertly utilizes negative space to emphasize the vastness and magnitude of this weather event. It invites viewers to contemplate their own insignificance when faced with such immense forces at play in our world. In summary, this striking image encapsulates a moment where Havana's cityscape meets nature's wrath—a testament to both human vulnerability and nature’s indomitable power.
