A land, suffering, traces of life gone, the artificial lake north of Barcelona has evaporated. The drought burns the soil of Spain, it cracks and the truth cracks. One of the most beautiful photos of the year has been awarded a prestigious prize. You think it’s a captured snapshot, no, it’s an image created by artificial intelligence, yet the jury saw nothing in it.

A whirlwind in an aurora borealis

In North Korea, a photo shows the happiness of an artificial paradise during the inauguration of a district, without a man or a car in the street. In Japan, spring is celebrated and wisteria is sculpted into the air, letting the illusion of purple skies appear thanks to nimble-fingered gardeners. In Alaska, a whirlwind generated by water vapor from a rocket engine appeared on an aurora borealis. Or a mother giraffe kissing her baby who is standing up for the first time.
