EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Gerard Julien of Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness a breathtaking moment in Madrid, Spain. The image captures the essence of a magical evening on November 13,2016, as a man stands on the balcony of a building gazing at the rising moon in the background. The timing couldn't be more perfect as this particular night marks the eve of an extraordinary celestial event - a supermoon. On November 14,2016, the moon will orbit closer to Earth than it has since 1948. This phenomenon is aptly named a supermoon and occurs when a Full or New moon coincides with its closest approach to our planet. As we observe this photograph, we are drawn into its horizontal composition that beautifully frames both man and moon. The silhouette of the man against the backdrop of Madrid's cityscape creates an intriguing contrast between human existence and nature's grandeur. The play of light and shadow adds depth to this already mesmerizing scene. It reminds us that even amidst urban landscapes, there are moments where nature takes center stage and captivates our senses. Gerard Julien skillfully captures not only an astronomical event but also evokes emotions through his lens. This print serves as a reminder for us all to pause from our busy lives occasionally and appreciate these rare moments when nature reveals its awe-inspiring beauty right before our eyes.
