EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic clock tower at the Houses of Parliament stands tall and majestic, its lights extinguished during Earth Hour in London on March 27,2010. This symbolic one-hour switch-off, which originated in Sydney in 2007, has now become a global event embraced by millions worldwide. As organizers World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) anticipated the largest participation yet this year, the sight of Big Ben shrouded in darkness served as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility towards environmental issues. Captured from a low angle view, the photograph showcases the towering landmark against an open night sky. The absence of artificial lighting allows us to appreciate both the architectural grandeur and creative use of light that usually illuminates this historic structure. With street lamps lining the streets below and a subtle lens flare adding an artistic touch to the composition, it is evident that even amidst darkness there exists beauty. This image encapsulates not only Earth Hour's message but also highlights how architecture can play a role in raising awareness about environmental concerns. By temporarily extinguishing its lights, Big Ben becomes more than just a timekeeping device; it transforms into a symbol representing our commitment to preserving our planet for future generations. In this photograph by Jas Lehal for Reuters Images, no people are present within frame - emphasizing that this movement transcends individuals and unites us all under one common cause: protecting our Earth.
