EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Pontinha Sao Pedro Lighthouse, standing amidst the earthquake-damaged ruins in Riberinha, Faial Island, Azores. The image showcases the resilience and strength of this historic structure against the backdrop of a picturesque European landscape. The remnants of this once majestic lighthouse tell a story of destruction and rebirth. The devastating earthquake that struck Portugal's Azores Islands left its mark on these ancient walls, yet they still stand tall as a testament to human perseverance. Nature's fury may have caused irreparable damage, but it couldn't extinguish the spirit embodied within these ruins. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an island where time seems suspended. The Atlantic Ocean stretches out before us, its vastness mirroring our own sense of awe and wonder at witnessing such architectural marvels marred by tragedy. Faial Island beckons travelers with its rugged charm and rich history. This image serves as a reminder that even in moments of despair, there is always hope for renewal. It invites us to explore not only the physical remnants left behind by natural disasters but also our own capacity for resilience in the face of adversity. Walter Bibikow's masterful composition captures both the grandeur and fragility inherent in this scene. Through his lens, we can almost hear whispers from centuries past echoing through these crumbling walls – tales waiting to be discovered by intrepid explorers who dare to venture into Faial Island's enchanting embrace.
