EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the grandeur and magnificence of the Forbidden City in central Beijing. Taken from a distant aerial view, it showcases the historic building amidst an urban cityscape. The picture, captured by Jason Lee on February 13,2018, provides a unique perspective of this iconic heritage site. The image highlights not only the architectural beauty but also raises concerns about climate change and pollution. The indistinct rooftops are partially obscured by haze, reminding us of the environmental challenges faced by modern cities like Beijing. The polluted air serves as a stark reminder of the impact that global warming has on our planet. Despite these challenges, there is still an undeniable charm to this cityscape. The creative use of angles and lighting brings out the vibrant colors in both the sky and buildings. With no people present in this shot, it allows viewers to appreciate the sheer scale and intricate details of one of China's most famous landmarks. Jason Lee's photograph offers us a captivating view from above; it invites contemplation about our relationship with nature and how we can strive for cleaner environments while preserving historical treasures like Forbidden City for future generations to enjoy.
