A general view shows the Eiffel tower and the Paris skyline through a small-particle haze
A general view shows the Eiffel tower and the Paris skyline through a small-particle haze March 13, 2014 as warm and sunny weather continues in France. Residents and visitors to Paris basking in a streak of unseasonable sunshine were also being treated with a dangerous dose of particles from car fumes that pushed air pollution to levels above other northern European capitals this week. Swathes of France, including the French capital, were on maximum alert over air pollution on Thursday, prompting Paris authorities to make green transportation such as its Velib bike-share and the Autolib electric car fleet free for the day.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Eiffel Tower and the enchanting Paris skyline, shrouded in a delicate haze of small particles. Taken on March 13,2014, during an unseasonably warm and sunny day in France, this image tells a story beyond its picturesque beauty. While residents and visitors basked in the streak of sunshine, they were unknowingly exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution caused by car fumes. The sight of the Eiffel Tower emerging through this atmospheric veil serves as a poignant reminder of the environmental challenges faced by urban cities worldwide. Swathes of France, including Paris itself, were put on maximum alert for air pollution that day. In response to this alarming situation, authorities made green transportation options such as Velib bike-share and Autolib electric cars free for use. Photographer Philippe Wojazer masterfully captures both the allure and vulnerability present in this scene. The composition showcases multiple elements: nature blending with architecture against a busy city backdrop while tourists go about their day exploring one of the world's most famous tourist attractions. Through his lens, Wojazer invites us to reflect upon our impact on nature and how it intertwines with our daily lives. This photograph is not just visually striking; it also raises awareness about pressing environmental issues we face today.
