WORKERS CAST SHADOWS ON A CLEAN BEACH IN THE SPANISH NORTHERN COAST
Workers cast long shadows after cleaning oil from a beach in the
Spanish northern village of Castro Urdiales February 8, 2003. The
Prestige, a Bahamanian-registered single-hull tanker, broke in two and
sank some 270 kilometers (165 miles) off Spain on November 19, touching
off the worst pollution ever on Spanish beaches and shutting down
Europes largest fishing industry. REUTERS/Victor Fraile Pictures of

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment on the Spanish northern coast, where workers cast long shadows against a pristine beach. The image tells the story of their tireless efforts to clean up an environmental disaster that unfolded months earlier. In November 2002, the Prestige, a single-hull tanker registered in the Bahamas, tragically broke apart and sank off Spain's shores. This catastrophe unleashed an unprecedented wave of pollution that devastated Spanish beaches and paralyzed Europe's largest fishing industry. In this snapshot taken by Victor Fraile in February 2003, we witness the aftermath of this ecological tragedy. As sunlight bathes the coastline, casting long shadows across the sand, it serves as a stark reminder of both human resilience and nature's vulnerability. These dedicated workers have tirelessly labored to restore this once-pristine beach to its former glory. The contrast between light and shadow symbolizes hope amidst despair—a testament to humanity's unwavering commitment to healing our planet. It is through such collective efforts that we can begin to mend what has been broken and protect our fragile ecosystems for future generations. Victor Fraile masterfully captures not only a visually striking scene but also conveys a deeper message about environmental responsibility and unity in times of crisis. This photograph stands as a timeless reminder that even in darkness, there is always room for light—and with determination and collaboration—we can overcome any challenge thrown our way.
