This print captures the Sarajevo TV tower standing tall amidst a thick blanket of smog that engulfs the city of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Taken on December 27,2015, it serves as a stark reminder of the severe air pollution crisis plaguing this picturesque region nestled among majestic mountains. In response to this environmental issue, authorities have declared the first level of preparedness. They urge those at health risk to limit their movement during mornings and evenings when pollution levels are highest. Additionally, drivers are encouraged to reduce their use of motor vehicles while heating utilities have been ordered to lower harmful gas emissions. The image showcases an elevated view from afar, highlighting the contrast between the hazy sky and the vibrant blue hues in nature's backdrop. The orange tinge on the horizon line adds an eerie beauty to this otherwise serene landscape marred by pollution. With no people in sight, it is evident that nature has taken center stage here. The TV tower stands as a symbol of technological advancement against a backdrop tainted by atmospheric contamination. This photograph encapsulates both the breathtaking beauty found in nature and our urgent need for environmental preservation. Photographer Dado Ruvic skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also raises awareness about one of today's pressing global issues – air pollution and its detrimental impact on our planet's well-being.
