EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the year 1890, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient world. The image showcases the haunting beauty of Mitla's necropolis, where history and mystery intertwine. In this frame, we witness the remnants of what was once a grand entrance facade and walls that have succumbed partially to time's relentless passage. The weathered stones bear witness to centuries gone by, whispering tales of forgotten civilizations. As our eyes wander across the scene, they are drawn towards a magnificent cactus plant standing tall on the right side - an unexpected juxtaposition against these crumbling ruins. The photographer skillfully captures not only architectural elements but also nature's resilience amidst human creations. This large cactus serves as a symbol of life persisting even in desolate landscapes. Its prickly presence adds texture and depth to an already rich composition. Mitla's necropolis is renowned for its archaeological significance and non-Christian funerary structures. It is here that countless excavations have unveiled monuments and complexes that shed light on ancient cultures' beliefs about death and afterlife. Through this photograph by Waite from Alinari, we are transported into a different era altogether – one where architecture meets archaeology amidst vast desert landscapes adorned with ruins. It invites us to ponder upon humanity's eternal quest for immortality through monumental structures while reminding us that nature will always find its way to thrive alongside our endeavors.
