EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of wooden train tracks in the abandoned Russian coalmine of Colesbukta, located in the remote and isolated region of Svalbard, Arctic Norway. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported to a desolate landscape where nature has reclaimed its dominance. The vibrant colors showcased in this horizontal composition bring life to an otherwise bleak scene. The snow-capped mountains serve as a majestic backdrop for the decaying industrial buildings that dot the terrain. The architectural remnants stand as silent witnesses to a once-thriving mining industry that now lies dormant. A low angle view emphasizes the magnitude and grandeur of these wooden train tracks, which wind their way through extreme terrains with determination and resilience. Their weathered appearance tells tales of countless journeys made by trains long gone. In this non-urban setting, there is an overwhelming sense of remoteness and isolation. It is as if time stands still amidst these forgotten structures, inviting contemplation on humanity's impact on our environment. Photographer Michael Runkel/Robert Harding skillfully captures both the harshness and delicate balance found within this abandoned coalmine. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of our ever-changing world and invites us to reflect on how industries shape landscapes while leaving behind traces of their existence.
