EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by David Mercado, the enchanting beauty of La Paz city is illuminated under the watchful gaze of a full moon. Taken on March 19,2011, during a phenomenon known as the "Super Moon" where our celestial neighbor reaches its closest point to Earth that year, this image showcases the mesmerizing connection between nature and urban life. The moon's radiant glow casts a serene light upon the cityscape below, transforming it into an ethereal wonderland. The sky above is adorned with scattered clouds that add depth and texture to the composition. With no people in sight, we are left to appreciate the architectural marvels standing tall against this nocturnal backdrop. La Paz's bustling streets and busy atmosphere seem momentarily frozen in time as nightfall blankets everything in tranquility. The creative use of lighting accentuates each building's unique features while emphasizing their integration within nature's grand design. This photograph serves as a reminder of how even amidst our fast-paced lives, there exists an undeniable harmony between humanity and its surroundings. It captures both the awe-inspiring power of natural phenomena like a full moon and our ability to create breathtaking structures that coexist harmoniously with their environment. David Mercado skillfully encapsulates these elements through his lens, offering us a glimpse into La Paz's nocturnal allure—a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's inherent beauty.
