EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of the Krusenstern, a Russian four-masted schoolship, as it gracefully rests in the harbor of Toulon, southern France. Taken on September 27,2013, during the Mediterranean Tall Ships Regatta "Voiles de Legende" (Legendary Sails), this image transports us to a world where time seems to stand still. The Krusenstern stands tall and proud against a backdrop of clear blue skies and shimmering waters. Its elegant silhouette dominates the frame, showcasing its impressive size and intricate details. The ship's masts reach towards the heavens while its billowing sails catch every whisper of wind that graces their presence. Moored alongside other magnificent tall ships for four days, this vessel becomes part of an enchanting maritime spectacle that captivates both locals and visitors alike. The regatta celebrates not only seafaring traditions but also serves as a reminder of our shared human history intertwined with exploration and adventure. Anne-Christine Poujoulat skillfully captures this moment in time through her lens. Her composition expertly balances light and shadow to create depth and texture within the photograph. Every line etched into the ship's wooden hull tells stories from distant lands traveled by brave sailors who once called these vessels home. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with sailing ships - symbols of freedom, discovery, and resilience against nature's mightiest forces.
