EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lonely tree meets lonely cloud in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand" we are transported to a moment of poetic solitude. The image, taken on 12 May 2012, showcases the stunning beauty of the Bay of Islands in New Zealand's North Island. As our eyes wander across the frame, we encounter an isolated tree standing proudly atop a hill. Its branches reach out like arms yearning for connection amidst a sea of green rolling hills. Above it hovers a solitary cloud, seemingly lost in its own thoughts as it drifts through the vast blue sky. Viewed from a boat cruising along the tranquil waters of the bay, this scene evokes feelings of both loneliness and individuality. It is reminiscent of Wordsworth's famous line "I wandered lonely as a cloud" written centuries ago but still resonating with us today. The juxtaposition between nature's growth and human isolation is strikingly portrayed here. The tree stands tall and resilient despite its solitary existence, while the cloud floats freely yet carries an air of melancholy. This photograph by Jon Bower captures not only breathtaking scenery but also invites contemplation about our place within nature's grandeur. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of emptiness or exclusion, there is beauty to be found if we open ourselves up to it.
