EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Parthenon temple perched atop the Acropolis hill in Athens, set against a dramatic backdrop of storm clouds. Taken on May 28,2015, this image encapsulates Greece's turbulent political and economic climate during that time. As Greece's government aimed to strike a cash-for-reforms deal with its lenders by Sunday, the looming storm clouds symbolize the uncertainty and challenges faced by the country. The ancient Parthenon temple stands as an enduring testament to Greece's rich history and architectural marvels. Its grandeur is accentuated by the contrast between its imposing structure and the darkened sky above. The photographer skillfully captures not only this iconic monument but also incorporates elements of nature such as trees dotting the landscape. With no people present in this frame, attention is solely drawn to the magnificent architecture and natural surroundings. This composition allows viewers to appreciate both man-made wonders and Mother Nature's power simultaneously. Alkis Konstantinidis' artistry shines through his creative use of lighting, emphasizing every intricate detail of this historic site despite adverse weather conditions. Whether one admires Greek culture or appreciates photography as an art form, this image serves as a visual reminder of Greece's resilience amidst storms – both literal and metaphorical – throughout its storied past.
