EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the vibrant spirit of a new beginning, this breathtaking print showcases an awe-inspiring display of fireworks illuminating the night sky over Moscow's iconic St. Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower. Taken on New Year's Day in 2015, photographer Tatyana Makeyeva perfectly captures the essence of celebration and anticipation. The image reveals a unique perspective from a low angle view, highlighting the grandeur of these architectural marvels against an open urban cityscape. Despite being covered by scaffolding, the Spasskaya Tower still exudes its majestic charm. The clock tower stands tall amidst a darkened backdrop, symbolizing time ticking away as we welcome another year. The explosion of colorful lights against the darkness creates a mesmerizing spectacle that fills both our hearts and minds with wonder. The creative use of firework sparks adds to the enchantment while emphasizing the festive atmosphere enveloping Red Square. As we gaze upon this photograph, it reminds us not only of joyous celebrations but also serves as a reminder of nature’s beauty juxtaposed with human-made structures. The haze and pollution in the air are subtly captured, reminding us to cherish our environment even during moments of jubilation. This image is truly timeless—a testament to architecture, weather conditions, and cultural traditions coming together harmoniously on one magical night.
