EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of camels loaded with pans of salt as they traverse a vast salt lake in the Danakil depression, Ethiopia. The image showcases the raw beauty of Africa's landscapes and indigenous culture. The composition is strikingly horizontal, emphasizing the expansive nature of the scene. Against a backdrop of distant people and an endless sky, these majestic animals form a perfect line, creating a sense of order and harmony. As they walk through the shimmering water, their reflections add an ethereal touch to this already enchanting tableau. The diminishing perspective leads our gaze towards a vanishing point on the horizon, where cloudscape meets land. This visual effect enhances our perception of distance and immensity. These camels serve as both working animals and pack animals for local communities who rely on them for their livelihoods. They carry heavy loads across challenging terrains while maintaining an air of gracefulness that is characteristic of these incredible creatures. Photographer Michael Runkel skillfully captures this moment in time, showcasing not only the natural wonders but also highlighting real people engaged in their daily lives within this ancient camel caravan tradition. In summary, this evocative photograph encapsulates the essence of Africa's diverse fauna and stunning landscapes while shedding light on its rich cultural heritage.
