EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the raw power and beauty of nature as lightning strikes over a pier during a storm in Atlit, near the northern Israeli city of Haifa. The image, taken by photographer Baz Ratner on October 25,2012, showcases the intensity of the moment with its dark and dramatic atmosphere. The contrast between the empty exterior of the pier and the vibrant orange hue created by the lightning illuminates both tranquility and chaos simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of darkness, there is still breathtaking beauty to be found. The photograph's composition highlights not only the natural phenomenon but also incorporates elements such as water and buildings to create a visually striking scene. With no people present in this picturesque landscape, it allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in this powerful display of meteorology. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image also prompts contemplation about climate change and global warming. As storms become more frequent and severe worldwide, photographs like these serve as reminders of our planet's vulnerability. Baz Ratner's skillful capture evokes feelings of awe while emphasizing nature's immense power. This print invites us to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility inherent in our environment – an invitation to relax amidst depression mood or find solace amid overcast skies.
