EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pernilla Wahlman for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the heart of Sweden's Christmas traditions. The image showcases the inauguration of a remarkable straw goat in Gavle, Sweden on November 27,2016. This iconic symbol has become synonymous with the holiday season in Sweden, but unfortunately, it often falls victim to arson attacks. To safeguard this cherished tradition from further harm, an innovative solution has been implemented - intelligent camera surveillance. As we gaze upon the photograph, we can't help but marvel at how technology intertwines with age-old customs. The goat stands tall and proud amidst its festive surroundings while discreet cameras keep a watchful eye over it. The horizontal composition adds depth to the scene as our eyes wander through intricate details of Christmas decorations that surround the goat. It serves as a reminder of how communities come together during this time of year to protect their cultural heritage. This offbeat yet endearing illustration encapsulates both resilience and innovation within Swedish society. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a story that speaks volumes about preserving traditions against all odds. Let us celebrate not only the beauty captured in this image but also acknowledge the determination and creativity employed to safeguard cherished customs for generations to come.
