EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Ali Hashisho, we are transported to the enchanting old city of Damascus in Syria. Against a backdrop of ancient architecture and snow-covered streets, a group of pigeons find solace on windowsills. The image exudes a sense of tranquility as these feathered creatures perch gracefully, seemingly unaffected by the cold weather. The cooperation among these birds is evident as they form an arrow shape with their bodies, creating a visually striking composition against the snowy landscape. Their presence adds life and movement to an otherwise still scene, reminding us of nature's resilience even in harsh conditions. The creative use of snowfall and icy surfaces enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. Each delicate flake contributes to the pyramid-shaped structure that forms around each pigeon, emphasizing their importance within this wintry tableau. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on these magnificent creatures and their ability to adapt to their surroundings. This photograph serves as a gentle reminder that amidst human chaos and conflict, nature continues its course undeterred. Ali Hashisho's skillful lens captures not only the beauty but also the essence of this moment—a snapshot frozen in time where pigeons become symbols of peace and endurance against all odds.
