EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking capture by Yagiz Karahan, the supermoon illuminates the night sky above the iconic Galata Tower in Istanbul. The historical tower stands tall and proud as it becomes a mesmerizing backdrop to nature's celestial spectacle. As darkness blankets the city, the moonlight casts an ethereal glow on every intricate detail of this architectural marvel. The juxtaposition of ancient and modern is evident in this image, with street lamps lining the cobblestone streets below and towering skyscrapers peeking through the clouds in the distance. The Galata Tower, steeped in history and culture, serves as a reminder of Istanbul's rich past while embracing its vibrant present. The full moon takes center stage amidst a sea of fluffy clouds, creating an enchanting atmosphere that seems straight out of a fairytale. With no people visible within frame, one can fully appreciate both the grandeur of nature and man-made beauty captured here. Karahan's creative use of lighting adds depth to this picturesque scene; each corner bathed in soft illumination creates an otherworldly ambiance that captivates viewers. This photograph not only showcases Turkey's stunning urban cityscape but also highlights nature's awe-inspiring wonders. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded once again of how small we are compared to the vastness of our universe – where even historic landmarks like Galata Tower become mere specks under a magnificent supermoon-lit sky.
