Photo taken through a metal gate shows an elderly woman shading herself from the hot sun under an umbrella in downtown Sofia, 24 June 2007. Bulgaria registered its highest temperatures since records began a century ago following a week-long heat wave, weather officials said, as health officials urged people to remain indoors.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo taken through a metal gate, we see an elderly woman seeking refuge from the scorching sun under a vibrant umbrella in downtown Sofia. The date is June 24th, 2007, when Bulgaria experienced record-breaking temperatures during a relentless heatwave. As weather officials reported the highest temperatures since records began a century ago, health officials advised people to stay indoors. The image captures the resilience and resourcefulness of this elderly woman as she finds solace under her trusty umbrella amidst the sweltering heat. Her face is shielded from the intense rays of the sun, highlighting her determination to protect herself from its harmful effects. This horizontal snapshot by DIMITAR DILKOFF showcases not only an offbeat moment but also serves as an illustration of how extreme weather conditions can impact our daily lives. It reminds us of the power and unpredictability of nature and prompts us to reflect on our vulnerability in such circumstances. As summer reaches its peak, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst challenging times, individuals find ways to adapt and persevere. Through his lens, DIMITAR DILKOFF has captured both a single moment in time and a universal experience shared by many during that fateful day in Sofia.
