EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge in a truly extraordinary way. Reflected in the windows of a city building, this image showcases the bridge's architectural marvel and its ability to create mesmerizing visual effects. Known affectionately as the "Coat Hanger" by locals, this famous Australian landmark has been an integral part of Sydney's skyline since its official opening on 19 March 1932. The photograph, taken on 04 July 2003 by Greg Wood from Agence France-Presse (AFP), beautifully highlights the intricate details and grandeur of the bridge. Standing tall against a clear blue sky, it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It took an impressive eight years and employed around 1400 workers to complete this engineering masterpiece. However, behind its magnificence lies a somber truth - during construction, sixteen lives were tragically lost due to accidents. This fact reminds us of the sacrifices made in bringing such monumental structures into existence. Greg Wood's skillful composition not only captures Australia's most renowned icon but also presents it with an artistic twist through its reflection. The juxtaposition between modern architecture and historical significance creates a visually striking image that is sure to captivate viewers' attention for years to come.
