EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Forbidden City shrouded in a thick blanket of smog, as Beijing prepares for the Chinese Lunar New Year. Taken by acclaimed photographer Jason Lee on February 13,2018, this image serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced by China's bustling capital city. The hazy skyline and obscured visibility create an eerie atmosphere around one of China's most treasured historical landmarks. The contrast between the ancient architecture and the modern-day pollution is both striking and thought-provoking. With no people in sight, this image emphasizes how nature can reclaim even the grandest human creations. The creative use of lighting highlights not only the architectural beauty but also draws attention to the pressing issue of air quality that plagues many urban areas worldwide. It prompts viewers to reflect upon their own role in preserving our environment and encourages them to take action towards cleaner skies. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded that beyond its cultural significance, Beijing is grappling with complex environmental issues that affect millions of lives daily. This image serves as a powerful visual testament to these challenges while urging us all to consider sustainable solutions for our planet's future well-being.
