EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Miguel Riopa from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness the majestic Russian ship Kruzensthern gracefully departing the harbor of Vigo, in northwestern Spain. The image encapsulates a moment of anticipation and excitement as the vessel sets sail, marking the beginning of the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge on May 3,2009. The photograph beautifully portrays the grandeur and elegance of this historic tall ship against a backdrop of clear blue skies and tranquil waters. Its towering masts reach towards the heavens, while its billowing sails catch the gentle breeze that propels it forward into an unknown adventure. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, our imagination is ignited with thoughts of exploration and discovery. We can almost feel ourselves aboard this magnificent vessel, eagerly embarking on a voyage across vast oceans to far-off lands. Miguel Riopa's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty of Kruzensthern but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for times when sailing ships ruled the seas. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements in maritime travel, there is still something magical about harnessing nature's power to navigate through uncharted territories. This print is truly a testament to both Miguel Riopa's talent behind the lens and his ability to transport viewers into another world – one filled with wonderment and endless possibilities.
