EDITORS COMMENTS
This combination picture captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the ancient Colosseum in Rome, Italy. The image showcases a stark contrast between two moments - one before and one after the lights were switched off for Earth Hour on March 24,2018. In the first frame, we see the iconic landmark illuminated against a serene night sky. The creative use of light enhances every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece, emphasizing its grandeur and historical significance. Pillars stand tall and proud, while the building exudes an atmospheric charm that transports us back to ancient times. However, as we shift our gaze to the second frame, darkness envelops the Colosseum as it joins millions around the world in observing Earth Hour. With no people present, this powerful image symbolizes unity in taking action to combat climate change and protect our planet's resources. Stefano Rellandini's skillful photography not only captures these contrasting moments but also prompts reflection on humanity's impact on our environment. This print serves as a reminder that even historic landmarks can play a role in raising awareness about sustainability issues.
