EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jon Nazca, the Guadalteba reservoir stands as a stark testament to the devastating impact of a strong drought in Ardales, near Malaga, southern Spain. The image was taken on August 6,2017, during a period when the region was grappling with arid conditions and scarce rainfall. The photograph showcases an expansive landscape that is both awe-inspiring and concerning. The ground surrounding the reservoir appears dry and cracked, reflecting the harsh reality of water scarcity. Against this backdrop, the reservoir itself stands as a symbol of hope amidst adversity—a man-made structure designed to store precious water resources for times like these. The composition beautifully captures nature's struggle against human-induced climate change. The sky above is filled with clouds that seem hesitant to release their life-giving raindrops upon the parched earth below. Mountains loom in the distance, reminding us of our fragile relationship with our environment. This image serves as a reminder of how interconnected we are with our surroundings and emphasizes our responsibility to protect and preserve them for future generations. It invites contemplation about sustainability practices and prompts us to reflect on how we can mitigate such environmental crises. Through his creative use of perspective and lighting techniques, Jon Nazca has produced an evocative snapshot that sparks conversation about climate change's impact on coastal regions while highlighting humanity's role in shaping our natural world—both positively and negatively.
