EDITORS COMMENTS
The City of Light shrouded in a hazy embrace: Paris wakes up to an eerie sunrise on December 9,2016. As the sun begins its ascent, it struggles to pierce through the small-particle haze that hangs above the iconic skyline. This print captures a moment when Paris experienced its worst air pollution in a decade. The image showcases the impact of climate change and global warming on urban environments. The street lamps flicker against the indistinct backdrop of buildings as they fight to illuminate the foggy cityscape. The French capital's architectural wonders are veiled by this atmospheric phenomenon, creating a surreal and almost otherworldly view from above. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of our responsibility towards nature and our environment. It highlights how pollution can distort and diminish even the most beautiful landscapes, obscuring their true essence with an impenetrable curtain of smog. With no people present in this frame, it emphasizes that this issue affects not just individuals but entire communities. Gonzalo Fuentes' creative use of perspective adds depth to this composition, drawing attention to both the beauty and fragility of our planet's delicate balance. Through his lens, he captures not only a fleeting moment but also prompts us to reflect upon our actions and strive for cleaner skies.
