Our picture of the week comes
from regular contributor Dr. Jonas Darlinstein, who has just
returned from a trip to Brazil. “Flying over the rainforest
I looked down and saw the shadow of the aeroplane I was travelling
in,” he says. “I registered the irony of the juxtaposition
of these two endangered species. And their entirely opposing
positions in the ecological spectrum: one so giving, the other
so destructive.” We like the way the rainforest fills
the frame, the enormous variety of shades of green, and the
way it resembles, from such a height, a vast sprig of broccoli.
Whether from a post 9/11 hangover or a growing sense of ecological
awareness, we find the blurry, fleeting shape of the jet plane
rather sinister, too. We love getting your photos, so please
keep sending them in to this space or to the ‘Week in
Pictures’ section. |
