In this photo print, the rising sun casts a mesmerizing reflection on a departing train amidst the chaos of a 24-hour nationwide train strike. The image captures the essence of civil unrest and resistance against the privatization plans of Spain's railways public companies, Adif and Renfe. Taken at Atocha station in Madrid on October 31,2013, photographer Sergio Perez skillfully portrays the juxtaposition between nature and urbanity. The empty train platform stands as a silent witness to the ongoing turmoil while dusk settles over the cityscape. Shadows dance along with traffic lights that flicker in anticipation of an uncertain future. The creative use of sunlight creates an ethereal atmosphere as it bathes everything in its warm glow. The railway track stretches into infinity, symbolizing both progress and uncertainty. With no people present, one can almost hear whispers carried by the wind as it rustles through nearby trees. Perez masterfully captures depth of field by highlighting the silhouette of the departing train against a sky painted with hues ranging from soft blues to fiery oranges. This powerful composition invites contemplation about our environment and how it intertwines with our daily lives. This thought-provoking photograph serves as a reminder that even during times of strife, beauty can still be found if we take a moment to look beyond what is visible at first glance.
