EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of a watchtower overlooking the ruins that were once home to a magnificent standing Buddha in Kakrak valley, Bamiyan, Afghanistan. The remnants of this ancient site stand as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this region. The image showcases the juxtaposition between past and present, as the contemporary watchtower stands tall against the backdrop of these historical remains. Its vibrant colors add an element of modernity to this timeless landscape. The surrounding fields and farmland remind us of the importance of agriculture in sustaining life in this remote part of Asia. The tower's turret adds an architectural charm to the scene, while its horizontal structure complements the vastness and serenity of nature. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures every detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this mesmerizing travel destination. The color image brings out the vivid hues found within both nature and man-made structures. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported thousands of miles away from our own reality into a world where time seems suspended. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst destruction, there is still immense beauty waiting to be discovered.
