EDITORS COMMENTS
This combination photo captures the iconic hill of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, both before and during Earth Hour on March 27,2010. As part of this global initiative, individuals worldwide were encouraged to switch off their lights for one hour starting at 8:30 p. m. local time as a symbolic gesture supporting stronger measures against climate change. In the first image, we witness the majestic silhouette of this ancient civilization illuminated by city lights. The pillars stand tall against a darkened sky, showcasing the architectural brilliance that has withstood centuries. However, as Earth Hour commences in the second image, darkness envelops the scene while a soft glow emanates from strategic lighting sources creatively used to highlight key elements. The juxtaposition between light and darkness serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility towards environmental issues. This photograph encapsulates not only an event but also highlights how even small actions can make a significant impact when united globally. Yiorgos Karahalis masterfully captured this general view without any people present—allowing us to focus solely on nature's grandeur and humanity's potential for change. Through his lens, we are transported into an enchanting moment where history meets contemporary concerns—a visual testament to our commitment towards preserving our planet for future generations.
