EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Akhtar Soomro, we witness the creative use of a leaking water pipeline as a means to beat the scorching heat in Karachi, Pakistan. The image portrays a silhouette of an unidentified man taking respite near the leaky pipeline during hot and humid weather. As temperatures soar and humidity fills the air, this resourceful individual seizes the opportunity to refresh himself amidst nature's elements. With grass beneath his feet and an unobstructed view from above, he finds solace in this simple act of cooling off. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how people adapt to their environment when faced with challenging circumstances. Despite facing water scarcity issues in Karachi, this man ingeniously takes advantage of what is available to him - using the leaking pipeline not only for hydration but also for relief from the oppressive weather conditions. Through Soomro's lens, we are reminded that even amidst adversity, humans find ways to survive and thrive. This image encapsulates resilience and resourcefulness while highlighting both our dependence on nature's resources and our ability to creatively utilize them for our own well-being.
