EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Muhammad Hamed, the serene beauty of the moon is perfectly juxtaposed against the majestic Roman pillars of the Temple of Hercules. The moon, glowing in a mesmerizing shade of blue, takes center stage as it illuminates the ancient ruins and casts an ethereal glow over the scene. Taken on October 24,2015, at the Citadel in Amman, Jordan, this photograph holds a deeper significance. The blue illumination serves as a symbolic tribute to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the United Nations. It highlights not only the historical importance of these Roman pillars but also emphasizes their connection to global unity and diplomacy. The composition captures both timelessness and modernity; ancient architecture stands tall while being bathed in contemporary light. This fusion creates a sense of harmony between past and present—a reminder that history continues to shape our world today. Muhammad Hamed's skillful lens work allows us to appreciate every intricate detail: from each weathered stone column to delicate lunar craters visible on its surface. Together with his masterful use of lighting and perspective, he transports us into this magical moment where nature meets human-made marvels. This awe-inspiring image invites contemplation about our place in history and how we can strive for peace and cooperation across nations—values that resonate deeply with both ancient civilizations and modern societies alike.
