“Travel has to be a free flow-an improvised voyage to discovery. You have to budget time for random wandering.” 

~ Steve McCurry

Steve McCurry’s photograph of a lone figure running into the Ethiopian sunset is a study in movement, light, and humanity. Silhouetted against a horizon ablaze with golden-orange hues, the runner is suspended between earth and sky—a fleeting moment of freedom and timeless human spirit. As with much of McCurry’s work, it captures not just a place, but a feeling: the quiet poetry of dusk, and the urgency of life in motion.
