EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a truly awe-inspiring moment as the sun is obscured by the moon during a solar eclipse. Taken from an Alaska Airlines commercial jet soaring at 40,000 feet above the vast Pacific Ocean off the coast of Depoe Bay, Oregon, on August 21,2017, photographer Jim Urquhart captures nature's extraordinary spectacle. The image showcases the perfect alignment of celestial bodies; with darkness gradually engulfing the sky and only a thin ring of sunlight peeking out from behind the moon. The horizon line serves as a stark contrast between day and night, emphasizing the surreal atmosphere created by this natural phenomenon. Urquhart's creative use of lighting highlights both beauty and mystery in this shot. As no people are visible in frame, it allows us to focus solely on Mother Nature's grand performance unfolding before our eyes. The darkened exterior of Alaska Airlines' aircraft adds an element of scale to remind us just how small we are in comparison to these cosmic events. This photograph reminds us that even amidst our busy lives and technological advancements, there is still immense wonder to be found in our environment. It serves as a reminder that nature has its own rhythms and cycles which can leave us humbled and amazed when we take time to observe them.
