EDITORS COMMENTS
The majestic Cinquantenaire arch in Brussels stands tall as the sun gracefully rises behind it, casting a beautiful shadow on the surrounding landscape. Erected in 1905 to replace a temporary monument, this iconic structure commemorates Belgian independence and serves as a symbol of national pride. In this photo captured by Yves Herman, the arch takes center stage against a backdrop of vibrant colors painted across the sky during dawn. The silhouette of the arch is enhanced by the creative use of Christmas lights that adorn nearby buildings, adding an enchanting touch to the scene. The tranquil morning atmosphere is further accentuated by a lone street lamp standing sentinel on an empty street below. As nature awakens with each passing moment, contrasting elements such as contrails streaking through the sky and wildlife finding solace among nearby trees create a harmonious blend between man-made beauty and natural wonders. This image captures not only architectural grandeur but also highlights the serene environment that surrounds it. With no people present in frame, viewers are invited to appreciate both its historical significance and its ability to seamlessly integrate into its surroundings. Yves Herman's photograph showcases Belgium's rich heritage while reminding us of nature's inherent beauty – all encapsulated within one breathtaking moment.
