EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Vladimir Nikolsky, we witness the harsh winter conditions in Minsk on February 12,2012. Through a frosted bus window, a passenger is silhouetted against the freezing air temperature of minus 23 degrees Celsius (minus 9.4 degrees Fahrenheit). The chilling frost delicately coats the glass, creating a beautiful and ethereal effect. The unidentified passenger remains unrecognizable as they sit calmly in their seat. Their silhouette stands out against the wintry backdrop outside, showcasing the creative use of light and shadow. Despite being inside the vehicle, one can almost feel the biting cold seeping through that icy barrier. This image serves as a reminder of how weather can shape our daily lives and transportation experiences during extreme seasons. It captures both vulnerability and resilience in an instant—a solitary figure braving freezing temperatures while traveling from one destination to another. Nikolsky's composition skillfully portrays not only the frozen environment but also evokes emotions associated with winter: solitude, stillness, and perseverance. As viewers gaze upon this photograph, they are transported into that momentary freeze-frame where time seems suspended within those frosted windows. Without mentioning any commercial usage or specific company affiliation, this remarkable image invites us to reflect on our own encounters with inclement weather while appreciating its artistic value at large.
