EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of the Lemanja festival on Rio Vermelho beach in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and sparkling turquoise waters, fishing boats dot the sea as they partake in this colorful celebration. The image showcases the rich cultural heritage and deep connection to the ocean that is characteristic of this coastal region. The Lemanja festival is an annual event held on February 2nd, where devotees pay homage to Yemanjá, the goddess of the sea in Afro-Brazilian religions. It is believed that by offering gifts such as flowers, candles, and miniature boats to Yemanjá, she will grant their wishes for good fortune and protection at sea. In this photograph by Godong/Robert Harding from WorldInPrint, we are transported into a world filled with energy and excitement. The bright colors of the fishing boats stand out against the calm waves while capturing our attention with their intricate designs. This scene invites us to immerse ourselves in Brazilian culture and witness firsthand its deep reverence for nature. Whether you have visited Salvador or not, this print serves as a reminder of Brazil's enchanting coastlines and its people's close relationship with both land and sea. It is a testament to how photography can transport us across continents and allow us to experience different cultures without leaving our homes.
