EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of the U. S. Capitol Christmas tree, standing proudly in front of the iconic building in Washington. Taken on December 16,2010, by talented photographer Molly Riley, this image showcases a low angle view that emphasizes the grandeur and significance of both the tree and its surroundings. The juxtaposition between nature and architecture is striking as the majestic evergreen stands tall against the backdrop of urban city lights. The black night sky provides a dramatic canvas for this central composition, allowing each element to shine with serene illumination. Adorned with exquisite Christmas decorations, including a single star-shaped ornament glowing in the dark, this picturesque scene evokes a sense of wonder and joy. The symmetrical placement of objects creates a visually pleasing display that highlights both creativity and tradition. As one gazes at this historic site beautifully captured by Molly Riley's lens, it becomes clear how nature seamlessly blends with man-made structures to create breathtaking landscapes. The dome-shaped Capitol building serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this festive symbol of celebration. With no people present in the frame, viewers are invited to appreciate not only the artistic composition but also reflect on their own experiences during Christmastime. This stunning photograph encapsulates beauty in nature while reminding us all of the magic that surrounds us during this special season.
