EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a plane gracefully glides beneath a delicate layer of clouds, crossing the radiant sun as Venus elegantly passes by. Captured through a coelostat at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles on June 5,2012, this extraordinary moment showcases the rare transit of Venus across our celestial neighbor. It is an event that will not be witnessed again from Earth for another century and five years. The juxtaposition of elements in this image is truly mesmerizing. The low angle view and close-up perspective highlight the intricate details of both the aircraft and the ethereal cloud formation. Against the backdrop of darkness, these contrasting elements create a surreal scene that evokes wonder and awe. The black silhouette of the airplane against the fiery hues of sunset adds to its allure, while Venus' presence brings an otherworldly beauty to nature's canvas. The circle-shaped planet stands out amidst its surroundings with its distinct red coloration. This picturesque photograph not only captures a unique astronomical phenomenon but also serves as a reminder of our place within Earth's atmosphere. It symbolizes humanity's constant pursuit to explore new frontiers while showcasing nature's breathtaking wonders. With no people present in this frame, it allows viewers to immerse themselves fully into this stunning display without any distractions. Gene Blevins' creative use of composition and lighting further enhances our appreciation for both science and artistry in one harmonious image.
