Aimee Forno, Cairns light (October theme: City)

This photograph captures the quiet beauty of a moment suspended between light and structure — where the sun’s golden rays pierce through the frame of a ferris wheel, illuminating the city and shoreline below. The image explores the contrast between human-made geometry and the organic flow of nature, inviting reflection on how we exist within both worlds. The warm glow of sunset symbolizes transition — from day to night, stillness to motion, solitude to connection. Through this piece, I aim to express a sense of wonder in the ordinary, and the calm that comes when we pause to see light filtering through the chaos.
