EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Enrique Calvo, a shepherd dog takes charge of a flock of geese as they await the blessings of a priest on the day dedicated to Saint Anthony, Spain's patron saint of animals. The picturesque scene unfolds in Muro, located on the beautiful island of Mallorca in Spain. The image showcases nature's harmony and man's deep connection with animals. Against a backdrop of an idyllic countryside road, the loyal border collie effortlessly guides the geese along their path. Its focused gaze and authoritative presence demonstrate its innate ability to control and protect the flock. The atmosphere is festive as locals celebrate this special occasion with great enthusiasm. The leafy plants surrounding them add vibrancy to the composition while also symbolizing growth and renewal. This photograph beautifully captures both tradition and creativity through its clever use of space. With no human figures present, it allows viewers to appreciate nature's wonders without any distractions. Enrique Calvo skillfully encapsulates not only the essence of this annual event but also highlights our enduring bond with animals. As we witness this heartwarming moment between man, dog, and goose, we are reminded once again that our relationship with these creatures goes beyond mere companionship – it is one rooted in respect and reverence for all living beings.
