EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Peter Parks from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to a sunny day at the Garden Island naval base in Sydney, Australia. The image showcases people leisurely sunbathing at a swimming pool right in front of HMAS Canberra, the Royal Australian Navy's latest and most impressive warship. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and juxtaposition as civilians enjoy their recreational activities while being surrounded by the might and power of military machinery. The sparkling blue water of the pool contrasts beautifully with the sleek gray exterior of HMAS Canberra, creating an intriguing visual composition. HMAS Canberra itself is an awe-inspiring sight; it is not only the largest but also the most expensive warship ever commissioned by the Royal Australian Navy. This photograph was taken just one week before its official entry into service on November 28,2014. Peter Parks has skillfully captured this moment, allowing us to appreciate both the serenity of civilian life and Australia's commitment to defense. It serves as a reminder that even amidst military strength and preparedness, there is always room for relaxation and enjoyment in everyday life. This remarkable print offers viewers a unique perspective on Australia's maritime capabilities while simultaneously highlighting our ability to find solace within extraordinary surroundings.
