EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Navesh Chitrakar, we are transported to the workshop of Nepal Railways Corporation Ltd. in Janakpur, Nepal. The image captures the remarkable resilience of nature as plants grow abundantly on an abandoned train. It is a powerful testament to the enduring power of nature and its ability to reclaim even man-made structures. The low angle view allows us to fully appreciate the lush greenery that has enveloped the rusting exterior of the steam train. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, these vibrant leafy plants create a striking contrast with their surroundings. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both human neglect and Mother Nature's indomitable spirit. As we witness plant life thriving amidst decay and abandonment, it prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving our environment. The image also evokes a sense of nostalgia for days gone by when this train was once bustling with passengers traversing through Nepal's picturesque landscapes. Now covered in vegetation, it stands as a silent witness to time's passage and speaks volumes about the transience of human endeavors. Navesh Chitrakar skillfully captures not just an abandoned train but also an entire ecosystem that has emerged from its forgotten existence. This thought-provoking photograph invites viewers to contemplate themes such as growth, decay, and humanity's intricate relationship with nature.
