EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by David W Cerny, a flock of birds gracefully soar above the riverside skyline on the embankment of Elbe river in Dresden. The image was taken on February 13,2015, during a significant moment for the city as it commemorated the 70th anniversary of the devastating bombing it endured during World War II. As dusk settles over Dresden, the silhouette of these elegant creatures is beautifully juxtaposed against the backdrop of historic buildings and towering spires. The evening sky casts long shadows that add depth to this mesmerizing scene. A prominent church stands tall among other architectural marvels, serving as a reminder of both resilience and history. The creative use of light and composition highlights not only nature's magnificence but also symbolizes hope and freedom. With no people present in this frame, attention is solely drawn to these winged beings navigating through an environment that has witnessed immense destruction and rebirth. This photograph encapsulates a sense of tranquility amidst remnants of turmoil—a testament to how time heals wounds inflicted upon cities scarred by war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even after facing unimaginable adversity, life finds its way back into existence—birds take flight once again above Dresden's revitalized cityscape.
