EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Valery Hache from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the sheer power and beauty of nature are on full display. The Mediterranean sea stretches out endlessly, its calm surface interrupted by a breathtaking phenomenon - a waterspout forming on the distant horizon. The image transports us to January 19,2015, off the coastal city of Nice, where an extraordinary convergence of atmospheric conditions gives rise to this awe-inspiring spectacle. As if emerging from another world altogether, the waterspout reaches up towards the heavens with an ethereal grace. Its slender funnel shape is both mesmerizing and intimidating as it swirls upwards in perfect harmony with the surrounding elements. The contrast between the deep blue hues of the sea and sky against the stark white column of water creates a striking visual impact that leaves viewers spellbound. Valery Hache's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also captures every intricate detail within this natural marvel. From afar, one can almost hear whispers carried by gentle winds mingling with crashing waves below. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in our modern age, there are still wonders yet to be fully understood or tamed. It invites contemplation about our place in nature's vast tapestry and encourages us to cherish these fleeting moments when we witness her raw power unfold before our very eyes.
