EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, Australia, takes center stage as it illuminates the night sky during the White Night festival of 2016. This magnificent World Heritage Site-listed building, completed in 1880, stands as a testament to Melbourne's rich history and architectural grandeur. Originally constructed to host the prestigious Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880-81, this historic landmark later witnessed another significant event - the opening of Australia's first Parliament in 1901 within its Western annex. Despite facing numerous challenges such as demolitions and fires throughout the 20th century, the main structure known as the Great Hall has stood resiliently. In this print captured by Boy_Anupong, we witness a moment frozen in time where modernity meets tradition. The vibrant lights that adorn every intricate detail of this old masterpiece bring life to its timeless beauty. As darkness falls over Melbourne cityscape, spectators are enthralled by the mesmerizing display that showcases both history and innovation. The White Night festival serves as a platform for artists and performers from around the world to showcase their talents against breathtaking backdrops like these. It is an enchanting celebration that unites locals and visitors alike under one roof - or rather under one illuminated dome. This photograph captures not only a stunning visual spectacle but also encapsulates the spirit of preservation and appreciation for cultural heritage that resonates deeply within Australian hearts.
