Three men running through rising floodwaters on a paved walkway during a heavy rainstorm.

Steve McCurry, Photographer, New York

About

Three men are captured in motion as they navigate rising floodwaters along a submerged walkway during a severe storm. The figures are soaked and leaning forward against the elements, with churning water surrounding them on all sides. The background fades into a heavy mist and obscured horizon under an overcast sky, with distant utility poles partially visible through the spray. The lighting is diffused and flat, emphasizing the raw, atmospheric tension of the environment. The image carries a documentary tone, highlighting human resilience and urgency amidst severe weather conditions.
