Kiyoto Ishii, Celestial Chorus: Giants of Mandurah and the Southern Glow (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

On the evening of 26 March 2025 in Wannanup, Western Australia, the sky came alive with a rare and breathtaking display of the Aurora Australis. From approximately 8:50pm to 10:00pm AWST, vivid red hues danced across the southern horizon. Clearly visible to the naked eye! In the foreground stands Seba's Song, one of the renowned Giants of Mandurah sculptures by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. Captured in a moment of quiet reverence, the giant appears to gaze southward, as if mesmerized by the celestial spectacle unfolding before it.
