EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the majestic beauty of Gunung Agung, Bali's iconic volcano, as it emerges above the clouds in the central mountains. Taken from the village of Temantanda on August 12,2003, this image showcases the awe-inspiring sight of Gunung Agung's peak piercing through a sea of fluffy white clouds. Known as the Mother Mountain, Gunung Agung stands tall at an impressive height of 3142 meters (10308 feet). Its last eruption occurred in 1963 and left a lasting impact on both the landscape and Balinese culture. The volcano is also home to Pura Besakih, Bali's most significant temple. Photographer Bob Strong skillfully captures this extraordinary moment where nature meets spirituality. The contrast between the dark silhouette of Gunung Agung against a backdrop of ethereal clouds creates a sense of grandeur and mystique. It serves as a reminder that despite its dormant state, this mighty volcano continues to command respect and reverence from locals and visitors alike. With no rights clearances or permissions required for this image by Reuters/Bob Strong, we are fortunate to witness such natural wonders through photography. This print invites us to contemplate our place within nature's vastness while appreciating Bali's rich cultural heritage tied closely with its volcanic landscapes.
