Victory by Ryszard Wierzbicki
This was the beginning of my exploration of the slums in the Smoky Mountain area. Smoky Mountain is a well-known district that is located on a garbage dump and has a characteristic view of the surrounding areas. I decided to do this trip on a one-day stopover in Manila. I hired a taxi driver for the day and we drove to the Smoky Mountain area. We met this gentleman at the very entrance to a narrow street “cut” out of a town cobbled together from corrugated iron and cardboard. He greeted us with a Victoria gesture.
The Reflecting Terminal by Suraj Krishnamurthy Cheemangala
This photo was taken at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, capturing a serene pre-flight moment as the plane is being loaded with fuel and prepared for boarding. The soft pearl sky casts a gentle glow, while the boarding bridge arches gracefully over the aircraft, adding elegance to the frame. Taken through the terminal glass, the reflections blend beautifully with the scene outside, creating a layered, tranquil effect that highlights the calm before takeoff.
Lonely Yellow Cabin by Suraj Krishnamurthy Cheemangala
This image was captured during our December 2020 trip to Lofoten. Despite it not being the ideal time to visit due to the frequent rain and strong winds, I managed to take this shot on my phone as I couldn’t use my DSLR. The yellow cabin contrasted beautifully against the moody blue skies and dark Norwegian landscape, standing out boldly in front of a silhouetted mountain. The weather was challenging, but it added a dramatic touch to the scene. The serene yet rugged atmosphere of Lofoten in winter made the experience unforgettable. Every element in the frame came together to highlight the raw beauty of Norway.
