EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in nature's symphony, as thousands of starlings engage in their enchanting dance before settling down for the night. Taken on December 28,2015 near the southern Arab Israeli city of Rahat, in the northern Israeli Negev desert, this image showcases the breathtaking phenomenon known as murmuration. The sky is transformed into an ethereal canvas painted with countless wings and synchronized movements. The starlings move as one entity, creating intricate patterns that seem to defy gravity. Their flight formations resemble fluid brushstrokes against a backdrop of fading daylight. As migratory birds, these starlings have embarked on an extraordinary journey across vast distances to find refuge in Israel's welcoming landscapes. This photograph serves as a testament to both their resilience and the importance of preserving natural habitats. Photographer Menahem Kahana has masterfully captured this awe-inspiring display of animal life and its harmonious relationship with its environment. His lens immortalizes not only the beauty but also the fragility of our planet's delicate ecosystems. In this horizontal composition filled with offbeat charm, we are reminded of how interconnected every living creature is within our shared home. Let us cherish and protect these fleeting moments that remind us of nature's boundless wonders.
