EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by Desmond Boylan on June 22,2011, we witness a farmer's resilience amidst the pouring rain on the outskirts of Havana. As droplets cascade from the sky, he rides stoically in his horse-drawn cart, navigating through a desolate road lined with palm trees. The image beautifully captures the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The creative use of reflection adds depth to the composition as we catch a glimpse of both the farmer and his loyal steed mirrored in a puddle below. In this solitary moment, they seem unfazed by their surroundings - an electricity pylon towering above them symbolizing modernity juxtaposed against their traditional mode of transportation. Boylan's lens skillfully highlights not only the weather but also its impact on our environment. The wet ground serves as evidence of recent rainfall that nourishes crops and sustains livelihoods in these rural areas. It reminds us of how interconnected we are with nature's rhythms. This powerful snapshot encapsulates timeless scenes that have unfolded for generations – farmers braving adverse conditions to tend to their land. It is a testament to human perseverance and adaptability while honoring traditions that withstand time itself.
