Sam Cook, Stillness Beneath the Sails (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2025)

The Sydney Opera House stands as a symbol of architectural brilliance. Still, it's the rare twilight moments like this—when the harbour softens to a mirror and the lights begin to pulse—that its true magic reveals itself. This long exposure blends movement and stillness to reflect Australia’s creative soul. This image was taken with precision timing and patience, allowing both city glow and sail-lit symmetry to speak in unison
