EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge in all their illuminated glory, moments before they succumb to darkness during the Earth Hour campaign. Taken on March 19,2016, this image symbolizes Australia's commitment to addressing climate change and promoting sustainable energy practices. Earth Hour is a global movement organized by WWF that encourages individuals, communities, and landmarks worldwide to switch off non-essential lights for one hour as a symbolic gesture towards combating environmental challenges. With millions of participants from 178 countries and territories anticipated this year, renowned structures like the Eiffel Tower, Taipei 101, and the Empire State Building will join Sydney's famous landmarks in plunging into darkness for sixty minutes starting at 8:30 pm local time. The panoramic view showcases not only the beauty of Sydney's skyline but also highlights our collective responsibility towards protecting our planet. As we witness these architectural marvels fade into obscurity temporarily, it serves as a reminder that every action counts in mitigating pollution and fighting against global warming. Photographer William West masterfully captures this momentous event with his lens. The composition emphasizes both the grandeur of human achievement represented by these architectural icons and their vulnerability amidst environmental concerns. This photograph stands as a testament to humanity's determination to preserve our precious earth for future generations.
