EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Adrian Warren, we are transported to the majestic Mount Kukenaam in Venezuela's Estado Bolivar. As we gaze upon the breathtaking landscape, our eyes are immediately drawn to an unexpected surprise – a giant chess piece perched precariously on the ascent point! This whimsical image reminds us that nature has a playful side too. Who would have thought that even on top of a tepui (table-top mountain), there would be room for a strategic game of chess? Perhaps it is the Pemon people, who call this region home and believe these mountains to be "the house of the gods" who left this intriguing puzzle behind. The photograph showcases not only the beauty of Mount Kukenaam but also highlights its geological wonders. The towering cliffs and rock formations carved by erosion over millions of years create an awe-inspiring backdrop for this unusual scene. As we marvel at this extraordinary sight, let us remember that Earth's landscapes hold countless surprises just waiting to be discovered. So next time you embark on an adventure in South America's gran sabana or venture into Venezuela's Guiana Highlands, keep your eyes peeled for hidden treasures like these – because sometimes, even mountains like to play games!
