EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Petr Josek, seagulls gracefully soar above the tranquil waters of Velky Tisy pond in Lomnice nad Luznici. The image captures a mesmerizing moment during the traditional carp haul, an event deeply rooted in Czech culture and culinary traditions. As the nets are drawn from the depths of the lake, seagulls eagerly flock overhead, their wings outstretched as they search for scraps of food. Against a backdrop of picturesque scenery and under an atmospheric sky, these birds symbolize freedom and natural beauty. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing both the simplicity and complexity of nature's wonders. With no human presence visible, it is as if time stands still for this fleeting instant when man-made structures give way to wildlife's instinctual pursuit. This image serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are moments where we can witness harmony between humans and animals. It invites us to appreciate not only the breathtaking landscapes but also cultural practices that connect us with our past. Petr Josek Snr has masterfully captured this scene with his lens; his creative use of light highlights every detail while leaving ample copy space for contemplation. This photograph is truly a testament to nature's resilience and its ability to inspire awe within us all.
