EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Phil Noble, the island of Lundy and its iconic North Light lighthouse are beautifully framed against a backdrop of cirrus clouds and contrails. The image was taken during the gathering of the Cloud Appreciation Society on Lundy, Britain, on May 21,2019. The serene scene showcases nature's artistry at its finest as wispy cirrus clouds gracefully dance across the sky. These high-altitude clouds are known for their delicate appearance, resembling feathers or thin strands of hair. Their presence adds an ethereal touch to the already picturesque landscape. Contrasting with these natural formations are man-made contrails streaking through the heavens. Created by aircraft engines releasing water vapor and exhaust particles into cold air at high altitudes, these trails crisscross above Lundy Island like brushstrokes in a painting. This photograph not only captures a stunning moment in time but also serves as a reminder of our ever-changing climate. As part of Reuters' Special Report on Climate Change in Britain, it highlights how even seemingly insignificant elements like clouds can play crucial roles in understanding weather patterns and climate shifts. Phil Noble's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of nature and humanity's impact on our environment simultaneously. It invites contemplation about our responsibility towards preserving Earth's beauty while acknowledging that we exist within an intricate web where every action has consequences for our planet's future.
