EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by David Gray, a seagull gracefully soars through the sky in front of Sydney's iconic city skyline as an impending storm looms overhead. The image, taken on December 13,2004, perfectly encapsulates the dramatic contrast between nature and urbanity. As dark clouds gather and cast an ominous shadow over the cityscape, the seagull becomes a symbol of freedom and resilience amidst approaching chaos. Its wings outstretched against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers serve as a reminder that even in times of uncertainty, there is always beauty to be found. This particular storm proved to be more than just a passing shower; it unleashed its fury upon Sydney with such intensity that severe weather warnings were issued. The airport was forced to close down temporarily while properties suffered damage from hailstones and flooding. Through his lens, Gray captures not only the imminent danger but also the raw power of nature at play. His photograph serves as both a testament to Mother Nature's forcefulness and an invitation for viewers to appreciate fleeting moments like these when they witness them firsthand or through imagery. With no rights clearances or permissions required for this image from Reuters Images, we are fortunate enough to experience this breathtaking scene without any limitations or restrictions imposed upon us.
