EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the vibrant streets of Medellin, Colombia. Against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset on January 19,2010, a young man finds solace and joy in his skateboard. As he effortlessly glides across the pavement, his carefree spirit is illuminated by the warm golden hues that engulf the scene. The Metrocable gondola looms in the background, symbolizing progress and connectivity for this bustling city. The Metrocable system was ingeniously implemented by the City Council of Medellin as an innovative transportation solution. Its purpose was to extend beyond Medellin's existing metro network and reach some of its least developed suburban areas. This ambitious project aimed to bridge gaps between communities while providing essential mobility options. In this image, however, it is not just about infrastructure or urban planning; it is about capturing a moment frozen in time. The young skater's playful energy perfectly encapsulates the resilience and vibrancy of Colombian youth amidst their evolving surroundings. Raul ARBOLEDA's lens beautifully captures both movement and stillness simultaneously - freezing time as if to remind us that even against challenging odds, life continues with unwavering determination. It serves as a reminder that within every corner of our world lies stories waiting to be told through images like these – tales that transcend borders and cultures alike.
