EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare celestial event juxtaposed against the iconic Liver Bird atop Liverpool's historic Liver Building. On March 20,2015, the heavens treated onlookers in north-west England to a mesmerizing spectacle: a partial solar eclipse of the sun. The photographer, Paul Ellis from Agence France-Presse (AFP), skillfully framed this extraordinary moment as the moon delicately obscured part of our star. In this horizontal composition, one cannot help but marvel at how nature and human ingenuity converge harmoniously. The silhouette of Liverpool's legendary Liver Bird stands tall against the backdrop of an otherworldly phenomenon. Its wings outstretched as if embracing both past and future discoveries in science and astronomy. The ethereal glow emanating from behind the darkened moon casts an enchanting light upon this architectural masterpiece that has witnessed centuries unfold beneath its gaze. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cities and towering structures, we are all connected to something greater than ourselves – the vastness of space. Paul Ellis' photograph invites us to ponder our place within the universe while appreciating our terrestrial surroundings. It encapsulates both awe-inspiring natural beauty and human achievements in one frame—a testament to mankind's ceaseless pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
