EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the imminent transformation of a river bank in China's Yangtze region. The image showcases the Three Gorges Dam, an engineering marvel that will flood the land below while new housing developments rise above reservoir level. Tony Waltham and Robert Harding skillfully capture this juxtaposition between nature and human progress. The photograph portrays a scene of immense change and development. The vibrant colors highlight the contemporary architecture of the newly constructed apartments, symbolizing China's rapid growth and urbanization. As we gaze upon this horizontal composition, we are transported to a place where tradition meets modernity. The Three Gorges Dam is not merely an infrastructure project; it represents China's ambition to harness its natural resources for sustainable energy production. This ambitious endeavor has attracted global attention due to its scale and impact on both people and environment. In this snapshot, we witness how man-made structures coexist with the majestic River Yangtze, emphasizing our ability to adapt and thrive in harmony with nature. It serves as a reminder that progress should be accompanied by responsible stewardship of our surroundings. Tony Waltham/Robert Harding have masterfully captured this significant moment in time – one that encapsulates both awe-inspiring beauty and thought-provoking implications for future generations.
