EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Czech-Supermoon-Offbeat" transports us to the enchanting landscape of Austerlitz in the Czech Republic. Taken on August 10,2014, by talented photographer Radek Mica from Agence France-Presse (AFP), it captures a truly extraordinary celestial event - the supermoon. In this breathtaking image, we witness the full moon majestically rising behind a picturesque church perched atop Santon hill. The ethereal glow of the moonlight bathes the entire scene in an otherworldly luminescence, creating a sense of awe and wonder. The supermoon phenomenon occurs when our lunar companion reaches its closest point to Earth during its elliptical orbit. This proximity enhances its size and brightness, resulting in a mesmerizing spectacle that captivates sky gazers worldwide. Mica's masterful composition beautifully juxtaposes nature and architecture as he frames the grandeur of this celestial marvel against the timeless beauty of human craftsmanship embodied by the church. The result is an evocative portrayal that reminds us of both our insignificance in comparison to cosmic forces and our ability to create enduring structures that stand tall against time. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Mica's skillful eye for capturing fleeting moments of natural splendor and his dedication to documenting such rare occurrences for all to appreciate. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded once again of humanity's profound connection with nature and our unending fascination
