EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures a rare celestial event - a triple conjunction of the planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury. Against the backdrop of the iconic Statue of Liberty in New York, this mesmerizing sight unfolded on May 26,2013. The image showcases the three planets aligning perfectly in the evening sky, forming a stunning symmetrical composition. As dusk settles over the cityscape, the vibrant blue hues gradually give way to an enchanting starry night. The soft lighting accentuates both the majestic presence of Lady Liberty and the ethereal beauty of this cosmic phenomenon. With no people present in frame, nature takes center stage as these celestial bodies create a picturesque scene that is truly awe-inspiring. The tranquil atmosphere adds to its allure; however, hints of pollution and haze remind us of our impact on our environment. Nevertheless, against this horizon line filled with orange tones at sunrise or sunset, there is still undeniable beauty found within nature's grandeur. Photographer Gary Hershorn skillfully captures this momentous occasion with his creative use of light and framing. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of our place in the universe but also highlights how even amidst bustling cities like New York City, we can find moments where serenity meets wonderment under one shared sky.
