EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Valery Hache from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the sun-kissed shores of Nice, on the French Riviera. As a scorching heatwave engulfs northern Europe, people seek solace and respite in various ways. The image showcases a fascinating contrast between leisurely relaxation and exhilarating adventure. On one side of the frame, individuals find refuge from the sweltering temperatures as they sit comfortably on a bench. Their relaxed postures and content expressions reveal their desire to unwind amidst nature's beauty. They bask in the warmth while cherishing moments of tranquility along this picturesque coastline. However, it is impossible to ignore the vibrant energy emanating from another corner of the photograph. Against an azure sky, colorful parasails soar high above the beachgoers. These daring adventurers embrace excitement and thrill as they glide through the air with grace and freedom. Their presence adds an element of offbeat charm to this otherwise serene scene. This snapshot encapsulates both sides of human nature – our longing for serenity and our thirst for adventure – against a backdrop defined by record-breaking heatwaves sweeping across Europe during that fateful summer day in 2018. Valery Hache's lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that even during challenging times like extreme weather conditions, humanity finds ways to adapt, enjoy life's simple pleasures or embark on thrilling escapades - all within reach
