UPPERINTERMEDIATE – ENGLISH COURSE

UPPERINTERMEDIATE – ENGLISH COURSE This image comes from the Lens Blog. This photograph was taken on March 26, 2013 by Cathal Mcnaughton. The caption reads: A farmer in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, searched for his sheep after a heavy snowfall over the weekend. Reuters reported that “At least 140,000 homes and businesses in Northern Ireland were left without power over the weekend following heavy snowfall, causing snowdrifts of up to 5 metres.

UPPERINTERMEDIATE – ENGLISH COURSE This image comes from the Lens post “Challenging an Old Narrative in Latin American Photojournalism.”   The caption begins: Fermin Pena attempts to repair a broken pipe in Caracas, Venezuela. We asked the photographer, Rodrigo Abd, for the backstory on this image:

I left the AP office in downtown Caracas, and I jumped on a motorbike taxi – the only way to move in Caracas as a journalist – to try to find some daily life pictures for the wire, basically trying to describe the mood of the people days before the presidential elections. Only two blocks from the office I suddenly saw this incredible situation, so I jumped off the motorbike to document the scene. It was surreal, this guy, almost covered by water, trying to fix a public tube. I spent almost 20 minutes there until the man finished his work.
