EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Temple of Segesta, located in Sicily, Italy. As the main city of the Elymian people during ancient times, Segesta holds great historical significance. The Elymians were a Bronze Age civilization that thrived in western Sicily and became heavily influenced by Greek culture after establishing contact with them. Constructed in the late 5th century BC, this Doric temple stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of its time. Its grandeur is evident through rows of majestic columns that reach towards the sky, creating an awe-inspiring sight against a backdrop of Mediterranean nature. The vibrant colors captured in this image add depth and life to these ancient ruins. Peter Thompson's expert photography beautifully captures both the tranquility and power emanating from this sacred site. The inclusion of surrounding plants and trees adds a touch of serenity to an otherwise imposing structure. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also invites contemplation about our shared human history and cultural exchange between civilizations. It offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry woven by past generations while standing amidst remnants that have withstood centuries.
