Winner man and nature: Landfill lightshow by Jasper Doest (Netherlands). ‘This photo was taken at a small recycling centre in southern Spain, where numerous white storks and black kites gather to search for food among the municipal waste. This source of food is reliably available all year and so there is no need for the birds to move on. As the waste degrades, strong acids are formed that are diluted by spraying water over the waste. Seen against a backlight, it is a beautiful spectacle, even though it has a vile smell and is, in any case, altogether questionable’.
