EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Sam Yeh from Agence France-Presse (AFP), visitors are seen gazing in awe at an extraordinary sight in Keelung harbor, Taiwan. Standing tall at a staggering 18 meters (59 feet) is a larger-than-life bath toy duck replica created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. The photograph was taken on January 3,2014, just after the giant yellow duck had been repaired and returned to its floating position. The image tells a story of resilience and anticipation as the colossal rubber duck prepares to make its grand debut once again. However, it also reveals an unexpected twist that occurred just hours before the new year countdown – the enormous inflatable exploded dramatically. Despite this setback, the determined team worked tirelessly to mend their beloved creation. As visitors gather around, their expressions reflect both curiosity and wonderment towards this whimsical masterpiece. The vibrant colors of the duck contrast beautifully against the serene blue waters of Keelung harbor, creating a visually striking scene that is hard to ignore. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents human ingenuity and our ability to find joy even amidst setbacks. It serves as a reminder that sometimes life's challenges can lead us to create something truly remarkable – like an 18-meter-tall bath toy duck floating gracefully in a Taiwanese harbor.
