EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro during Earth Hour on March 27,2010. As more than 80 countries participated in this global initiative, homes, office towers, and landmarks united to turn off their lights from 8:30 pm local time. This collective effort aimed to raise awareness about climate change and the pressing threat posed by rising greenhouse gas emissions. From an elevated viewpoint, the image showcases a stunning cityscape that stretches along the coastal line. The darkness envelops the urban city as buildings extinguish their lights, leaving behind only a few scattered glimmers reflecting on the water's surface. The landscape is transformed into an ethereal glow-in-the-dark spectacle against the horizon line. The absence of people emphasizes both solitude and unity in combating environmental issues. With nobody present on Copacabana beach at this moment, it becomes a symbol of our shared responsibility towards preserving our planet for future generations. Bruno Domingos skillfully captures this extraordinary scene with creative use of lighting and composition. His photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and uncertainty, there is hope for change when we come together to protect our environment.
