EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a 90-minute long exposure, revealing star trails encircling the North Star. The ethereal scene unfolds above an ancient tumulus in Grossmugl, Austria, where a majestic cross stands tall against the night sky. Taken on August 22,2017, by renowned photographer Heinz-Peter Bader for Reuters Images, this image transports us to a world where Christianity and the vastness of galaxy space intertwine. The composition showcases movement within the picture as streaks of light trail across the clear sky. The juxtaposition between darkness and worship is strikingly evident as the cross shape emerges from obscurity amidst nature's serene backdrop. This creative use of long exposure photography highlights faith's enduring presence even in moments when darkness seems overwhelming. The absence of people allows viewers to immerse themselves fully in this picturesque environment while contemplating traditional Christian symbols and their significance. The silhouette of hills adds depth to the scene, enhancing its atmospheric charm. Bader's masterful capture not only celebrates religion but also invites contemplation about our place in the universe. It serves as a reminder that despite life's challenges or uncertainties, there is always light shining through if we have faith. This awe-inspiring photograph beautifully merges artistry with astronomy and offers solace to those seeking spiritual connection amid nature's grandeur.
