EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Christian Hartmann, the moon gracefully ascends over the Sacre Coeur Basilica in Montmartre, Paris. Taken on November 5th, 2017, this stunning image showcases the ethereal beauty of a full moon illuminating the night sky above one of France's most iconic landmarks. The juxtaposition between the grandeur of the basilica and the celestial presence of the moon creates a mesmerizing scene. The intricate architecture of Sacre Coeur is bathed in a soft glow as darkness envelops its surroundings. The towering spires reach towards the heavens, while shadows dance along its exterior walls. This photograph captures an air of serenity and tranquility that is often associated with religious buildings. As if frozen in time, it transports us to a moment where history meets modernity in an urban cityscape. The creative use of light and shadow adds depth to this already majestic composition. Without any human presence to distract from its magnificence, we are left solely with nature's masterpiece unfolding before our eyes. This image reminds us of our place within something much larger than ourselves – both physically and spiritually. Christian Hartmann's skillful lens has immortalized this extraordinary moment when architecture merges seamlessly with nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cities and historic buildings, there is always room for moments of awe-inspiring beauty like this one.
