EDITORS COMMENTS
This combination picture showcases the ancient Parthenon temple atop the majestic Acropolis hill in Athens, Greece. The top image depicts a serene view of this iconic landmark during daylight, while the bottom image captures the temple's transformation during Earth Hour. Taken by Alkis Konstantinidis on March 24,2018, this creative use of photography highlights both the architectural beauty and atmospheric ambiance surrounding the Parthenon. In its daytime glory, the Parthenon stands tall against a clear sky, with its pillars reaching towards heaven. The ancient structure exudes strength and grandeur as it overlooks the cityscape below. However, as night falls and Earth Hour commences, a remarkable change occurs. The temple is bathed in darkness except for subtle lighting that accentuates its exquisite details. This juxtaposition between day and night emphasizes not only the timeless allure of this historic site but also raises awareness about environmental conservation through Earth Hour participation. With no people present in either frame, viewers are encouraged to reflect upon humanity's impact on our planet and consider how we can preserve such treasures for future generations. Alkis Konstantinidis' skillful composition beautifully captures these contrasting moments at one of Greece's most cherished landmarks – an enduring symbol of history and resilience standing proudly amidst modern times.
