Sydneys Manly ferry ploughs through the waves after gale force winds, torrential rain and snow wreaked havoc across Sydney and surrounding areas on October 15, 2014. The New South Wales State Emergency Services (SES) responded to more than 1, 200 calls for help overnight as wind gusts of up to 160 kph (100 mph) brought down trees and up 170 mm (6.7 inches) of rain caused widespread flooding.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by William West from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the sheer power and resilience of Sydney's Manly ferry is showcased as it fearlessly ploughs through tumultuous waves. The image serves as a testament to the relentless battle between nature's elements and human determination. Taken on October 15,2014, after an onslaught of gale force winds, torrential rain, and even snow wreaked havoc across Sydney and its surrounding areas. The aftermath left a trail of destruction that prompted over 1,200 calls for help to the New South Wales State Emergency Services (SES) overnight. Wind gusts reaching up to an astonishing 160 kph (100 mph) toppled trees while rainfall measuring up to 170 mm (6.7 inches) caused widespread flooding. Amidst this chaos, the Manly ferry emerges as a symbol of hope amidst adversity. Its sturdy structure slices through towering waves with unwavering strength, defying the forces that threaten to overpower it. This awe-inspiring display captures both the beauty and danger inherent in Australia's weather patterns. William West expertly encapsulates this extraordinary moment in time where man-made machinery confronts Mother Nature head-on. Through his lens, we witness not only the ferocity of nature but also our ability as humans to navigate through its challenges with courage and resilience. This photograph stands as a reminder that despite facing overwhelming odds at times, humanity can rise above any storm that comes our way -
