EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the waning gibbous moon gracefully ascends behind the majestic dome of the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, also known as the Rotunda of Mosta. The image was captured during a week-long celebration commemorating the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady in Mosta, Malta on August 10th, 2017. The striking contrast between the illuminated moon and the darkened sky creates an ethereal ambiance that envelops both faith and nature. The church's dome stands tall against this celestial backdrop, symbolizing a connection between heaven and earth. As night falls upon this sacred place of worship, it becomes evident that even in darkness, faith shines brightly. This photograph beautifully captures how religion intertwines with natural phenomena to create a sense of awe-inspiring wonder. With no people present in this scene, one can fully appreciate the architectural beauty and serene atmosphere surrounding this religious sanctuary. The creative use of lighting emphasizes not only man-made structures but also highlights nature's own masterpiece - a full moon casting its gentle glow upon everything below. Darrin Zammit Lupi skillfully captures an extraordinary moment where spirituality meets natural elements. Through his lens, we are reminded that our environment holds profound significance within our religious practices and beliefs.
