EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Stefan Wermuth, the Muenster Cathedral in Bern, Switzerland becomes a dramatic backdrop for nature's electrifying display. As lightning streaks across the sky above the historic building, it illuminates the entire cityscape with an intense burst of light. The contrast between the black-colored cathedral and the bright flash creates a stunning visual effect that is both awe-inspiring and haunting. The dark stormy sky adds to the atmospheric ambiance of this image, as if hinting at an impending thunderous roar. Against this backdrop, the silhouette of trees and architecture stand tall, symbolizing resilience in face of natural phenomena. With no people present in the frame, one can truly appreciate how small we are compared to these powerful forces of nature. Wermuth's creative use of lighting captures a moment frozen in time - a split second when air crackles with energy and history merges seamlessly with modern urban life. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst our bustling cities and towering structures, we are still subject to Mother Nature's whims. With its striking composition and ample copy space surrounding it, this print allows viewers to immerse themselves fully into its environment. It invites contemplation on our place within nature's grand design while marveling at its raw beauty.
