EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of two tall ships, the Belem and the Alexander von Humboldt, as they gracefully rest 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 showcases a moment frozen in time. The Belem stands proudly on the left side of the frame, its towering masts reaching towards the sky with an air of elegance. Its sails are neatly folded against its wooden hull, awaiting their next adventure across open waters. On the right side of this picturesque scene is the Alexander von Humboldt, another magnificent vessel that exudes a sense of grandeur and history. As these remarkable ships find solace in Toulon's tranquil harbor for four days, one can only imagine their rich maritime stories and voyages to distant lands. The calmness surrounding them contrasts with their potential for thrilling adventures at sea. Photographer Anne-Christine Poujoulat skillfully captures every detail - from intricate rigging to weathered wood - transporting viewers into a world where time seems to stand still. This horizontal composition allows us to appreciate both vessels simultaneously while highlighting their individual charm. This AFP print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with sailing ships and our connection to seafaring traditions. It invites us to embark on our own imaginative journey through history and inspires dreams of exploring uncharted territories aboard these legendary vessels
