EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Francois Lenoir, the moon takes center stage behind the majestic Brussels Palace of Justice. As darkness falls over the urban city, a low angle view captures the ethereal glow of the half moon against the night sky. The creative use of lighting showcases a stunning contrast between the illuminated dome and its surroundings. This breathtaking image holds great significance as it was taken ahead of an important trial - that of Salah Abdeslam, one of the suspects in the 2015 Islamic State attacks in Paris. The absence of people emphasizes both solitude and anticipation, creating an atmosphere filled with tension and mystery. The composition offers ample copy space for contemplation on various themes such as justice, city life, environment, and weather. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling metropolises like Brussels, moments like these allow us to pause and appreciate nature's beauty. Lenoir's skillful capture invites viewers to reflect on how our world is interconnected; where celestial bodies silently witness significant events unfolding beneath them. This photograph not only documents a specific moment but also encapsulates emotions tied to history-making trials while highlighting architectural grandeur against an enchanting night backdrop.
