EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing general view of the aerial subway and the sprawling city rooftops in Paris. Taken on February 24,2015, it not only showcases the architectural beauty of the French capital but also serves as a reminder of an intriguing event that unfolded during that time. French authorities had launched investigations into multiple sightings of drones near sensitive sites in Paris, including the presidential palace and the U. S. embassy. The government announced these investigations on Wednesday after local media reported five drone sightings overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday. The presence of these unidentified drones hovering over such important locations raised concerns about security and privacy. Despite this alarming situation, no claims of responsibility were made by any individual or group at that time. This photograph encapsulates both the serene charm of Parisian rooftops against a clear sky while hinting at an undercurrent of mystery surrounding those unmanned aircraft. Taken by Gonzalo Fuentes for Reuters Images, this image is a testament to how photography can capture not just beautiful landscapes but also significant moments in history. It invites viewers to ponder upon the delicate balance between progress and security in our modern world where technology intertwines with everyday life even above iconic cities like Paris.
