A man walks in Barra da Tijuca beach during the sunrise in Rio de Janeiro
A man walks in Barra da Tijuca beach during the sunrise in Rio de Janeiro January 31, 2014. This has been the hottest January on record in parts of Brazil, and the heat plus a severe drought has fanned fears of water shortages, crop damage, and higher electricity bills that could drag down the economy during an election year for President Dilma Rousseff.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ricardo Moraes, a man can be seen strolling along the picturesque Barra da Tijuca beach during a breathtaking sunrise in Rio de Janeiro. The image beautifully encapsulates the serene and tranquil atmosphere of this coastal landscape, with its soft clouds and gentle waves crashing against the shore. However, behind this idyllic scene lies a deeper story. Taken on January 31,2014, during what has been recorded as the hottest January in parts of Brazil, concerns about water shortages, crop damage, and soaring electricity bills loom over the country. These issues have become particularly significant as they coincide with an election year for President Dilma Rousseff. The unrecognizable figure walking alone on the beach represents both solitude and resilience amidst these challenges. It serves as a reminder that even in times of uncertainty and adversity, individuals find solace in nature's beauty. This photograph also highlights urban renovation through its inclusion of tower blocks in the background – symbolizing progress and development within Brazil. Ricardo Moraes' creative use of composition captures not only the physicality but also evokes emotions associated with getting away from it all – offering viewers an escape from their daily lives to immerse themselves in this atmospheric moment at Barra da Tijuca beach.
