EDITORS COMMENTS
A hauntingly beautiful image of a skein of geese taking off from Rutland Water in Leicestershire, England, painted in the stark contrasts of winter. The geese, silhouetted against the blank, cold and bleak winter sky, create an ethereal sight as they prepare for their journey. The dead tree in the foreground, its branches barren and bare, adds to the wintry scene, providing a stark contrast to the graceful, winging geese. The water, calm and still, reflects the tranquility of the moment, as the geese lift off in unison, their wings beating rhythmically against the air. The scene is one of contraste jour, where the beauty of nature's flight meets the stark reality of the winter landscape. This evocative photograph, first published in The Sunday Times in 1989, captures the essence of a winter's day at Rutland Water, a place of natural wonder and beauty.
