EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the approach to Ditwa lagoon and beach near the port of Qalensiya, on Yemen's Socotra island. Taken by photographer Mohamed al-Sayaghi on November 21,2013, this image showcases the breathtaking natural landscape that makes Socotra a unique destination. Situated in the Arabian Sea, approximately 380 km south of mainland Yemen and 80 km west of the Horn of Africa, Socotra is renowned for its rich biodiversity. The islands are home to numerous rare species of birds and plants, making it a UNESCO-recognized world natural heritage site since July 2008. In this photograph, one can appreciate the untouched beauty of Ditwa lagoon as it merges with the stunning coastline. The crystal-clear turquoise waters gently lap against golden sand while lush green vegetation surrounds them. The calmness exuded by this scene invites visitors to immerse themselves in nature's tranquility. The composition perfectly balances elements from land and sea: vibrant foliage frames both sides while a strip of sandy shore leads towards an endless horizon where sky meets water. This harmonious blend creates a sense of serenity and awe-inspiring wonder. Mohamed al-Sayaghi's skillful capture transports viewers into Socotra's enchanting realm—a place where untouched landscapes thrive alongside diverse wildlife. This photo serves as a reminder that our planet still holds hidden treasures waiting to be explored and cherished for generations to come.
