EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Houses of Parliament in London just moments before their lights were extinguished during Earth Hour on March 27,2010. The annual global event, initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote sustainability. The Houses of Parliament stand tall and majestic against a dusky sky, with their intricate Gothic architecture illuminated by warm golden lights. The image exudes a sense of grandeur and historical significance, reminding us of the rich heritage embedded within these walls. However, this photograph takes on an even deeper meaning as it symbolizes a collective effort towards conservation. As the lights are about to be switched off for one hour, we witness a powerful statement being made - that even monumental structures like these can unite in support of our planet's well-being. Earth Hour encourages individuals, communities, and governments worldwide to reflect upon their energy consumption habits and take steps towards reducing carbon emissions. This particular year is anticipated to be the largest yet in terms of participation. Jas Lehal skillfully captures this momentous occasion through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of the Houses of Parliament and humanity's commitment towards preserving our environment.
