EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Greg Wood, we witness the grandeur of the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk as it gracefully glides through Sydney Harbour. The iconic Sydney Opera House stands tall in the background, serving as a striking juxtaposition between modern naval power and architectural beauty. Positioned by tugboats with precision and care, the 323-meter super-carrier showcases its immense size and strength against the picturesque Australian skyline. This momentous occasion took place on July 5th, 2007, as USS Kitty Hawk berthed at Garden Island Naval Base after participating in the joint Australian-US military exercise Talisman off Queensland. With its 5,000 crew members onboard, this mighty warship now embarks on a well-deserved shore leave until July 10th. The image captures not only a significant military presence but also highlights the camaraderie shared between Australia and the United States. Wood's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the technical prowess of naval operations and their harmonious integration into stunning natural surroundings. Through his lens, we are reminded of the vital role played by these floating cities in maintaining global security while marveling at their sheer magnificence. This AFP print serves as a timeless reminder of international cooperation amidst breathtaking scenery – an emblematic snapshot that encapsulates both power and grace within one frame.
