EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured on March 3,2017, in Les Sables-d Olonne, western France, the juxtaposition of a majestic tanker and an elegant yacht sailing side by side creates a striking visual representation of determination and accomplishment. The image immortalizes the moment when Dutch skipper Pieter Heerema triumphantly arrived at the finish line of the grueling Vendee Globe around-the-world solo sailing race. As Heerema proudly sails his yacht into port, securing a commendable 17th place in this prestigious competition, one cannot help but be inspired by his indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to conquering challenges. Against the backdrop of serene blue waters and clear skies, this photograph encapsulates both the serenity and excitement that accompany such an extraordinary achievement. The presence of the tanker further emphasizes Heerema's remarkable feat. Its imposing size serves as a reminder of the vastness he had traversed during his solitary journey across oceans. This powerful contrast symbolizes not only Heerema's personal victory but also highlights humanity's ability to conquer seemingly insurmountable obstacles through sheer willpower. Captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP), renowned for their exceptional journalistic eye for detail and emotion, this print is more than just a snapshot; it is a testament to human resilience and perseverance. It stands as a timeless tribute to those who dare to dream big and push beyond their limits in pursuit of greatness – reminding us all that with dedication
