Red Flood

This striking image captures the unique atmosphere of a sudden thunderstorm in Petra, in the heart of Jordan. Under a heavy sky, the ancient rocks appear to glow with an intense orange light, while the dark silhouettes of the trees create an almost mystical setting.

Beyond its visual impact, the photo conveys the power of nature in a place steeped in history. The contrast between the raw force of the sky and the permanence of the stones invites reflection on time, memory, and resilience.

This rare scene, captured at a moment when the deluge transforms the landscape into a living tableau, demonstrates the photographer's sensitive and committed vision. A well-deserved selection for its ability to combine aesthetic beauty and narrative depth.
