EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Anthony Wallace, the vibrant spirit of Hong Kong's sport culture and rich traditions comes to life. The image showcases competitors enthusiastically participating in the annual dragon boat race held to commemorate the Tuen Ng festival. Set against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers, a stark contrast is drawn between modernity and tradition. The scene unfolds within the Aberdeen typhoon shelter on June 18,2018, as rowing boats bustle with energy and determination. Each team exudes an unwavering focus as they paddle fiercely through the water, their synchronized movements showcasing years of practice and dedication. The rhythmic sound of paddles hitting the water echoes throughout the harbor. Dragon boat racing holds deep cultural significance for Hong Kong residents, symbolizing unity, strength, and resilience. As participants navigate their way through choppy waters with unwavering teamwork, spectators line up along shores to cheer them on. This exhilarating event not only celebrates centuries-old customs but also fosters a sense of community among locals and visitors alike. Wallace skillfully captures this moment from a general view perspective that allows viewers to appreciate both the scale of these impressive rowing boats and their surroundings. His lens perfectly encapsulates how traditional sports seamlessly coexist amidst a bustling metropolis like Hong Kong. This AFP print serves as a powerful reminder that while cities may evolve rapidly over time, preserving cultural heritage remains integral in fostering identity and connection within communities worldwide.
