EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by David W Cerny, the Vltava River in Prague becomes a sanctuary for both swans and sun-seekers during a scorching heat wave. As temperatures soar to an alarming 36 degrees Celsius (97 degrees Fahrenheit), people flock to the riverbanks, finding solace on deck chairs while basking under the relentless summer sun. The image beautifully juxtaposes two contrasting scenes: graceful swans gracefully gliding through the calm waters of the Vltava River, their elegant presence adding a touch of serenity to the bustling cityscape; and nearby, individuals seeking respite from the sweltering heat, indulging in leisurely sunbathing sessions. This snapshot not only captures a moment of tranquility amidst chaos but also highlights our innate connection with nature. The swans symbolize grace and harmony as they navigate through their natural habitat while humans seek refuge from oppressive temperatures. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, we can find solace in our surroundings. As we gaze upon this photograph, it evokes feelings of longing for relief from intense weather conditions while appreciating the beauty that surrounds us. It reminds us of our shared vulnerability to environmental changes and encourages us to cherish moments where humans and animals coexist harmoniously against all odds.
