EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Igreja Matriz de Sao Jorge, also known as the Mother Church, located in Velas on Sao Jorge Island in the Azores, Portugal. The church stands proudly against a backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, representing both Portuguese and European architectural heritage. The image captures the essence of Portuguese culture and history with its 17th-century facade and towering structure. As one gazes at this old monument, it transports them to a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the past. The scene is set amidst an urban landscape adorned with cobblestone streets that lead up to this local landmark. A statue depicting a male figure can be seen from behind, serving as a memorial that adds depth to the cultural significance of this place of worship. With vibrant colors and impeccable composition, Karol Kozlowski's photography skillfully portrays not only an architectural marvel but also highlights Portugal's rich heritage. This photograph invites travelers to explore this tourist destination and immerse themselves in its historical charm. As we admire this image, we are reminded of how monuments like these serve as important symbols of our collective history. They stand tall as reminders of our past while embracing us within their traditionally Portuguese embrace.
