EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the enchanting beauty of Norway's Svalbard archipelago, taken on a serene summer evening in 1989. As the sun gracefully sets over the horizon, painting the sky with warm hues of orange and pink, it illuminates an awe-inspiring landscape that seems to belong to another world. The composition showcases a vast expanse of untouched nature, where islands emerge from crystal-clear waters. The rugged coastline is adorned with rocky cliffs and lush greenery, creating a harmonious blend between land and sea. A sense of tranquility emanates from this picturesque scene as calm waves gently lap against the shore. The cloudy sky adds depth to the image, casting soft shadows upon the landscape below. It serves as a reminder that even amidst such serenity, nature remains unpredictable and ever-changing. The reflection of this scenery on the water's surface creates a mirror-like effect that doubles its visual impact. Gilles Leimdorfer's skillful capture transports viewers into this idyllic seaside paradise, allowing them to momentarily escape their daily routines and immerse themselves in pure natural wonder. This horizontal illustration evokes feelings of peace and harmony while showcasing Mother Nature at her most mesmerizing. As an AFP photojournalist renowned for his ability to encapsulate emotion through imagery, Leimdorfer has once again succeeded in capturing a moment frozen in time—an eternal testament to Norway's ethereal beauty found within its remote Svalbard archipelago.
