EDITORS COMMENTS
This combination photo showcases the Stupa of Enlightenment, a magnificent holy monument constructed entirely out of granite, located at the Buddhist Centre in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The image captures two contrasting moments: one before and another after the lights were switched off for Earth Hour on March 24,2018. In the bottom frame, we witness the stunning stupa illuminated against the night sky as it stands tall amidst an urban cityscape. Its grandeur is accentuated by its aerial view and creative use of lighting that highlights every intricate detail of its architecture. This religious building represents Buddhism's profound influence in this bustling city. However, as we shift our gaze to the top frame, we are presented with a different perspective - darkness engulfs the scene as all lights have been turned off for Earth Hour. The absence of artificial illumination emphasizes not only energy conservation but also sustainable development practices embraced by communities worldwide. The photograph beautifully encapsulates both environmental consciousness and religious devotion within a single shot. It serves as a reminder that even sacred structures can contribute to positive change when united with efforts towards preserving our planet's resources. Photo credit: Ilya Naymushin/Reuters
