Traffic jam, thermogram
Traffic jam. Thermogram of vehicles in a traffic jam on a road. Thermography records surface temperatures by detecting the long-wavelength radiation emitted by an object. Here, the colour-coded temperature scale runs from white (warmest) through pink, red, orange, yellow, green and blue to black (coldest)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures the essence of a traffic jam like never before. Using thermography, the image showcases a mesmerizing display of vehicles stuck in gridlock on a busy road. The innovative technology behind thermography records surface temperatures by detecting long-wavelength radiation emitted by objects. The colour-coded temperature scale adds an artistic touch to the scene, with white representing the warmest areas and black indicating the coldest spots. As we follow this spectrum, we observe shades of pink, red, orange, yellow, green and blue that beautifully illustrate the varying degrees of heat emitted by each vehicle. This image not only highlights the physical aspect of transportation but also emphasizes how modern technological advancements can capture everyday moments in unique ways. The use of infrared cameras and long wave infrared radiation allows us to witness familiar scenes through a different lens. As we gaze at this photograph, it becomes evident that being stuck in traffic is more than just waiting for cars to move; it's an intricate dance between machines and their surroundings. Street lights and overhead lighting add depth to this visual narrative as they illuminate both stationary and moving vehicles along the motorway. In conclusion, Science Photo Library has masterfully captured a moment frozen in time – one that encapsulates frustration yet showcases beauty within chaos. This print serves as a reminder that even mundane situations can be transformed into works of art when viewed through scientific lenses.
