EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting presence of a cannon, a relic of the Second World War, nestled within the ancient walls of Lekuresi Castle in Saranda, Albania. The castle, perched atop a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea, has borne witness to countless historical events throughout the centuries, from Roman occupation to modern-day conflicts. The cannon, a testament to the more recent past, adds a poignant layer of history to the already rich narrative of this iconic fortress. The cannon, with its rusted barrel and weathered exterior, appears to be a relic of the 20th century, a time when the world was gripped by the devastating effects of global conflict. The image invites us to reflect on the age-old question of how weapons, once used to inflict harm and destruction, can become symbols of history and reminders of the past. The cannon, with its projectile and propellants, was a powerful tool of war during the Second World War. The image raises questions about the role of gunpowder and artillery in shaping the course of history, and the consequences of their use. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between war and history, and the enduring impact of conflict on the world around us. The image, taken in the present day, invites us to contemplate the past and consider the lessons that can be learned from it. The cannon, a symbol of a bygone era, stands as a reminder of the human capacity for both destruction and creation, and the importance of understanding the complexities of history in order to build a better future.
