EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of coal mining in Grundy, Virginia. The image showcases a row of train cars filled to the brim with coal, resting on tracks amidst the picturesque landscape. Taken from an aerial perspective, it offers a unique and creative view of this vital industry. The composition is strikingly beautiful as it juxtaposes the industrial nature of coal mining against the natural elements surrounding it. The lush greenery and towering trees provide a stark contrast to the blackened cargo within the train cars. The clear blue sky above adds a sense of tranquility to an otherwise bustling scene. Through this photograph, Brian Snyder manages to convey both the environmental impact and economic significance of coal mining. It serves as a reminder that while this industry plays a crucial role in powering our world, it also has consequences for our environment. Without any people present in the frame, we are left solely with nature's interaction with man-made structures. This absence allows us to focus on how these massive quantities of coal are transported across vast distances by rail. Overall, Snyder's photograph provides viewers with an opportunity for reflection on our reliance on fossil fuels and their effect on our planet's delicate ecosystem.
