EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dinuka Liyanawatte, a monkey fearlessly traverses the main power lines on a bustling road in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The image showcases the remarkable agility and adaptability of this wild mammal as it effortlessly balances itself on the thin cables against the backdrop of an expansive sky. The monkey's nimble movements highlight its ability to navigate through challenging environments with ease. Its long tail serves as a counterbalance, aiding in maintaining stability while suspended high above ground level. This primate's confident stride demonstrates its mastery over nature and its surroundings. As we observe this extraordinary scene, we are reminded of the harmonious coexistence between wildlife and urban landscapes. Despite human intervention altering their natural habitats, these resilient creatures find innovative ways to adapt and survive. Liyanawatte's creative use of composition emphasizes both the beauty and vulnerability of these animals within our shared environment. With no people present in the frame, attention is solely focused on this solitary creature defying gravity amidst changing weather conditions. This powerful photograph invites us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving nature's delicate balance while appreciating the awe-inspiring wonders that exist beyond our own species.
