EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pollution on the Moskva River" captures the alarming reality of river pollution in Moscow, Russia. The image showcases a disturbing skim layer of oil that blankets the waters of the Moskva River, creating an unsettling sight for environmental enthusiasts and concerned citizens alike. Intriguingly, as if to emphasize its foul presence, interference patterns within the oil form a mesmerizing band of colors in the foreground. This iridescent fringe serves as a stark reminder of how human activities can disrupt and tarnish our natural surroundings. The photograph sheds light on the detrimental impact of industrial practices on this Russian river. With its dirty water tainted by oil spills and other pollutants, it symbolizes both local and global concerns about environmental degradation caused by unchecked industrialization. While capturing this disheartening scene in Moscow, Science Photo Library has successfully conveyed not only the visual representation but also evoked emotions associated with such ecological issues. It prompts viewers to reflect upon their own responsibility towards protecting our planet's precious resources from further harm. This thought-provoking image serves as a powerful call-to-action for individuals and industries alike to prioritize sustainable practices and work collectively towards preserving our rivers' purity worldwide.
