EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Temple of Soleb, a remarkable testament to the ancient civilization that once thrived in Nubia, Sudan. Built during the reign of Amenophis III, this historical landmark stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Its grandeur and intricate stone work are a true marvel to behold. As time passes, however, signs of aging become evident on its weathered columns and crumbling ruins. The durability and longevity of this architectural masterpiece are now being tested as it weakens and deteriorates over centuries. Yet, even in its state of collapse, it exudes an undeniable charm that draws tourists from all corners of the world. The temple's significance lies not only in its physical beauty but also in its cultural importance. It serves as a tangible link to our past, offering insight into an ancient civilization that once flourished here. This photograph captures both the awe-inspiring nature of human achievement and the fleeting nature of time itself. With vibrant colors highlighting every detail and expertly framed by Bruno Barbier or Robert Harding's lens, this image transports us back to a bygone era where history was carved into stone. It invites us to explore Africa's rich heritage while reminding us to appreciate these precious remnants from our collective past.
