EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Gregg Newton, a flock of pelicans gracefully soar past a tattered American flag at Surfside Park near Vilano Beach in Florida. The image, taken on January 26,2018, showcases the powerful juxtaposition between nature and patriotism. As the pelicans glide through the air with their wings outstretched, they create a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of the worn-out stars and stripes. The wind gently flutters the shredded flag as if paying homage to its enduring spirit despite its damaged state. This creative use of an exterior setting highlights how even in nature's flight, symbols of national pride can find their place. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our environment's resilience amidst changing weather conditions and human impact. It symbolizes both the strength of wildlife thriving in their natural habitat and our collective responsibility to protect it. With no people present in this frame, viewers are encouraged to reflect on what it means to be patriotic beyond individual actions or political affiliations. Through this image, we are reminded that patriotism can also manifest itself through appreciation for our nation's diverse wildlife and commitment to preserving our natural heritage. Gregg Newton skillfully captures not only a fleeting moment but also evokes emotions tied to love for country and respect for nature—a testament to his talent as a photographer.
