EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "From the air. The savannah and a canal" transports us back to Somalia in 1972, capturing a mesmerizing aerial view of its vast savannah and meandering canal. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this image offers a unique perspective that allows us to appreciate the grandeur of nature's tapestry. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are immediately drawn to the sprawling expanse of the savannah below. Its golden hues stretch as far as the eye can see, interrupted only by sporadic clusters of trees dotting the landscape like tiny islands amidst an endless sea. The sheer magnitude of this natural wonder is awe-inspiring; it reminds us of Earth's boundless beauty. Intriguingly cutting through this majestic scene is a slender canal, winding its way through the savannah with grace and purpose. Like a lifeline for both wildlife and human civilization alike, it serves as a reminder of how water sustains life in even the most arid environments. Its presence adds depth to an already breathtaking composition. Quilici's masterful use of aerial photography allows us to witness Somalia from an entirely new perspective—one that unveils hidden patterns and reveals intricate details often overlooked from ground level. This photograph invites contemplation about our place within nature's delicate balance—a reminder that we are but humble observers in an ever-changing world. "From the air. The savannah and a canal" captures not just one moment frozen in time but also encapsulates Somalia's timeless allure—an enchanting blend of untamed wilderness and serene tranquility preserved forever on photographic paper thanks to Quilici's keen eye for detail.
