EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and intensity of nature as a sandstorm engulfs Diyarbakir city in Turkey. Taken on January 19,2018, by talented photographer Ilyas Akenin from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this image provides a striking illustration of the destructive force that bad weather can unleash. In this topshot, we witness the city's skyline obscured by an immense wall of swirling sand particles. The horizontal composition emphasizes the vastness and breadth of this natural phenomenon, while also highlighting its impact on urban life. Buildings and structures fade into mere silhouettes against the hazy backdrop, creating an eerie atmosphere that reflects both danger and awe. The sandstorm's chaotic dance with civilization is beautifully captured in this general view photograph. It serves as a reminder of our vulnerability to nature's whims and how quickly our daily routines can be disrupted when confronted with extreme weather events. The resilience of Diyarbakir's inhabitants is palpable through their determination to navigate these challenging conditions. Ilyas Akenin masterfully freezes a moment in time where Mother Nature takes center stage, reminding us of her unrivaled power over human endeavors. This print not only documents a specific event but also encapsulates the universal experience shared by many communities around the world when faced with unpredictable weather patterns.
