EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Great Meteoron and Varlaam monasteries in Greece. Standing tall on sandstone pinnacles and cliffs, these two magnificent structures were built as refuges centuries ago. The Great Meteoron, visible at the back on the left, was established in the mid-15th century while Varlaam came into existence a hundred years later. The tranquility emanating from this image is palpable, transporting viewers to a place untouched by time. The absence of people allows us to appreciate the sheer grandeur of these monasteries against a backdrop of rugged rock formations. The choice to present this photograph in black and white adds an archival quality that further enhances its timeless appeal. Located in Thessaly near Kalambaka, these monasteries are not only famous travel destinations but also recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Their construction on seemingly inaccessible cliffs showcases human ingenuity harmoniously blending with nature's wonders. John Phillips' photography skillfully captures every intricate detail of these architectural marvels while preserving their historical significance. This print serves as a window into an ancient world where spirituality meets breathtaking landscapes, inviting us to immerse ourselves in Greece's rich cultural heritage.
