EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Hyungwon Kang, the serene beauty of the night sky unfolds over the iconic U. S. Capitol dome in Washington. Taken shortly after midnight on January 7,2010, it showcases the mesmerizing sight of a Third Quarter moon gracefully ascending above the cityscape. The image is a stunning juxtaposition of nature and human-made marvels. On one side, we witness the celestial wonder as the moon radiates its soft glow against a darkened backdrop. Its delicate crescent shape hints at mysteries yet to be unveiled in our vast universe. On the other side, we are reminded of man's ingenuity with two prominent landmarks: The Potomac River covered in glistening ice and the majestic Washington Monument standing tall and proud. These elements add depth to an already enchanting scene, emphasizing both nature's power and humanity's ability to create enduring symbols. Kang's masterful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes a sense of tranquility and awe that can only be experienced when witnessing such ethereal phenomena firsthand. As viewers gaze upon this photograph, they are transported into a world where dreams meet reality—a world where even amidst bustling cities and political institutions, nature continues its eternal dance across our skies. This remarkable image serves as a gentle reminder that while we may build grand structures and strive for progress as societies, there will always be something greater than ourselves—something timeless that connects us all: The ever-present beauty of our natural surroundings
