EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Patrick Hertzog from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the enchanting Christmas market in Strasbourg, eastern France. The image showcases a group of people standing beside a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, radiating with festive lights and ornaments. It is the opening day of the market, which brings together locals and tourists alike to celebrate the joyous holiday season. However, what makes this scene even more remarkable is the security measures taken by the city authorities. Due to safety concerns, Strasbourg's city center has been closed off to car traffic for the entire duration of the Christmas market. This precautionary measure ensures that visitors can fully immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere without any worries or disruptions. The photograph perfectly captures both leisure and security aspects of this event. As families and friends gather around, their faces filled with excitement and wonderment, they are surrounded by an aura of safety provided by these necessary precautions. Hertzog's skillful composition highlights not only the beauty of this particular moment but also serves as a reminder that even during times when we come together to celebrate joyous occasions like Christmas markets, our safety remains paramount.
