EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Gavin Hellier, we are transported to the famous outlet of the Blue Nile into Lake Tana in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. The image showcases a local man carrying a tankwa, an open-ended papyrus canoe, with great effort and determination. As he traverses the serene lake surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, one can't help but admire his resilience and strength. The composition of the photograph perfectly captures the essence of travel and adventure in this remote African region. The distant landscape adds depth to the scene while highlighting the isolation and seclusion that can be found here. The vibrant colors of nature contrast against the calm blue waters, creating a visually stunning panorama. This image not only portrays a momentary journey but also symbolizes life's hardships and challenges faced by individuals in rural areas. It represents their daily struggle for survival as they transport heavy burdens through difficult terrains. Gavin Hellier's photography skillfully captures both the physical exertion involved in such journeys and the sense of freedom that comes from being immersed in nature's tranquility. This print serves as a reminder of human achievement amidst adversity and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and awe-inspiring landscapes.
