EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures a suburb of Duesseldorf, Germany, with the partially dried-up riverbed of the Rhine River as its centerpiece. Taken on November 22,2011, this photograph showcases the consequences of an extended dry spell that resulted in one of the lowest water levels ever recorded during autumn. The image presents a striking contrast between urban development and nature's powerful forces. From above, we witness an expansive cityscape stretching towards the horizon, adorned with bridges connecting different parts of this vibrant metropolis. The distant buildings stand as testaments to human ingenuity and progress. However, it is the exposed riverbed that steals our attention. Once teeming with life-sustaining waters, it now lies barren under an overcast sky. The absence of people further emphasizes the magnitude of this environmental phenomenon. Ina Fassbender's creative use of perspective allows us to reflect upon our intricate relationship with nature and how even mighty rivers like the Rhine can be vulnerable to weather patterns beyond our control. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that despite our advancements in technology and urbanization, we are still subject to nature's whims. As we gaze at this extraordinary photograph from above, we are compelled to contemplate both humanity's impact on our environment and its profound ability to adapt when faced with adversity.
