EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Great Plaza in Tikal National Park, Guatemala. Standing proudly amidst the ruins of the Mayan civilization, Temple I, also known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar, dominates the landscape with its towering presence. This funerary pyramid was built to honor Jasaw Chan K'awil and serves as a testament to their rich cultural heritage. The photograph showcases intricate architectural details and highlights a carved stone stela and altar in the foreground. The lush greenery of the surrounding forest creates a stunning contrast against the blue sky, adding depth and vibrancy to this historical site. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to an era when this city-state thrived. Tikal National Park is not only an archaeological treasure but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Its significance lies in preserving remnants of pre-Columbian Maya civilization for generations to come. The abandoned structures tell stories of an empire lost but not forgotten. Jon G Fuller's masterful composition beautifully captures both the grandeur and serenity that coexist within these ancient ruins. It invites us to appreciate our shared human history while marveling at Mother Nature's ability to reclaim what once belonged solely to mankind.
