EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Alifakovac Cemetery in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nestled amidst the breathtaking Balkan landscape, this burial ground holds a significant place in history as it serves as the final resting place for Muslim foreigners. The tombstones and Ottoman turbes dotting the cemetery pay homage to those who found solace and eternal peace in this sacred space. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of Vratnik Citadel, also known as Bijela Tabija or the White Fortress. This ancient fortification stands tall, overlooking both the cemetery and the capital city beyond. Its imposing presence adds an air of mystique to this already enchanting scene. As we take in this image captured by photographer Jane Sweeney, we are transported to Eastern Europe's heartland - a region rich with cultural heritage and historical significance. The juxtaposition of life and death is evident here; while Alifakovac Cemetery represents solemnity and remembrance, Vratnik Citadel symbolizes strength and resilience. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own mortality while marveling at nature's ability to intertwine history with natural beauty. It reminds us that even in death, there is profound dignity and grace. Let JS's lens be your guide through South Eastern Europe's hidden gems as you explore its captivating landscapes steeped in centuries-old tales of love, loss, triumphs, and tribulations
