EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable transformation of Romania's Parliament building before and during Earth Hour. The top image depicts the grandeur of the architectural masterpiece, illuminated by vibrant lights against the night sky. However, as darkness falls and Earth Hour commences at 8:30 pm in central Bucharest on March 27,2010, a profound change takes place. In this combination picture captured by Bogdan Cristel for Reuters Images, we witness the power of collective action to combat climate change. As individuals unite globally to support tougher measures against environmental degradation, the iconic Parliament building stands shrouded in darkness. The once radiant facade is now engulfed in shadows, symbolizing our commitment to conserving energy and reducing carbon emissions. The orange glow emanating from within adds an ethereal touch to this scene. Through long exposure photography techniques employed by Cristel, we are able to perceive a faint silhouette of the structure amidst its surroundings—a testament to mankind's ability to adapt and coexist harmoniously with nature. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that every small act counts towards preserving our planet for future generations. It encapsulates both hope and urgency—hope that together we can make a difference—and urgency in addressing pressing environmental issues that threaten our world
