EDITORS COMMENTS
A winter wonderland unfolds through the car windscreen as snowflakes dance in the air, obscuring the view of the main highway linking Beirut to Damascus. Captured by photographer Jamal Saidi in Sawfar village, eastern Lebanon, this print encapsulates both beauty and challenge. The date is December 12,2010, a day when Lebanon experienced its coldest winter spell of the season. The heavy snowfall has transformed the landscape into a picturesque scene with mountains peaks covered in a thick blanket of white. However, this natural spectacle comes at a cost - roads are blocked and travel becomes treacherous. As we gaze through the windscreen, we can imagine the struggle faced by drivers navigating their way along this vital route. This image serves as a reminder of nature's power to simultaneously captivate and disrupt our lives. It highlights how environmental forces can transform familiar spaces into something entirely different - turning an ordinary road trip into an extraordinary adventure or causing inconvenience and danger for those trying to reach their destinations. Through his lens, Jamal Saidi captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys the impact that weather conditions can have on our daily lives. This photograph invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and appreciate its ability to shape our experiences - sometimes enchanting us with its beauty while other times challenging us with its unpredictability.
