The Bosphorus Bridge is seen before Earth Hour in Istanbul
The Bosphorus Bridge that links the citys European and Asian sides, with the European side in the background, is seen before Earth Hour in Istanbul March 23, 2013. Earth Hour, when everyone around the world is asked to turn off lights for an hour from 8.30 p.m. local time, is meant as a show of support for tougher action to confront climate change.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Murad Sezer, the iconic Bosphorus Bridge takes center stage before Earth Hour in Istanbul. The bridge, connecting the European and Asian sides of the city, stands tall against a stunning backdrop of the European side. As darkness begins to descend upon the cityscape, it serves as a powerful symbol of unity and awareness for climate change. The image was taken on March 23,2013, just moments before Earth Hour commenced. Earth Hour is an annual global event that encourages individuals and communities worldwide to switch off their lights for one hour at 8:30 p. m. local time as a symbolic gesture towards combatting climate change. It acts as a call to action for governments and citizens alike to take more decisive steps in addressing environmental issues. Sezer's photograph beautifully captures the anticipation and significance surrounding this momentous occasion. The bridge stands illuminated against the darkening sky, representing hope amidst growing concerns about our planet's future. Its presence reminds us of our interconnectedness across continents while emphasizing that collective efforts are required to protect our environment. This thought-provoking image not only showcases Istanbul's architectural marvel but also serves as a reminder that even small actions can make a significant impact when we come together with shared purpose - safeguarding our planet for generations to come.
