EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a single balloon stands as a striking silhouette against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset near the Spree river in Berlin. Taken on November 8,2014, this image captures a moment during the temporary division of a part of inner city Berlin from November 7 to 9. The occasion is marked by an extraordinary light installation called Lichtgrenze (Border of Light), which features an awe-inspiring display of 8000 luminous white balloons. This installation serves as a poignant commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The photograph exudes serenity and beauty in nature, with its surreal ambiance created by the combination of darkness and sunlight. The sky is painted with hues ranging from orange to deep blue, forming an enchanting horizon line that adds depth to the composition. While unrecognizable people are present in this landscape shot, their presence only enhances its allure. This image showcases not only artistic creativity but also highlights how installations like these can transform urban spaces into picturesque scenes that evoke emotions and memories. It reminds us that even amidst political events and societal changes, there is still room for beauty and tranquility in our world. Photographed by Hannibal Hanschke for Reuters Images, this stunning capture invites viewers to appreciate both nature's wonders and human ingenuity through art installations like Lichtgrenze.
