EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by acclaimed photographer Ethel Davies in 2003, showcases a unique blend of ancient and modern history in the heart of Athens, Greece. The image focuses on the sentries from the elite light infantry 24-hour honor guard, who meticulously change every hour in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Syntagma Square. The soldiers, dressed in their traditional military uniforms, stand guard in perfect formation, paying homage to the unknown soldiers who have given their lives for their country. The contrast between the ancient backdrop of the Parliament building and the contemporary military uniforms creates a striking visual juxtaposition. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a mausoleum dedicated to the fallen soldiers of Greece, is a significant tourist attraction and a symbol of respect and remembrance. The changing of the guard ceremony is a daily spectacle that draws crowds of locals and tourists alike. The soldiers' clothing, with its distinctive colors and skirts, is a nod to Greece's rich history and traditions. The vibrant hues of the uniforms stand out against the muted tones of the Parliament building and the gray pavement of the square. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring significance of military traditions, the importance of remembering the past, and the allure of travel and exploration. Ethel Davies' image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of different cultures and customs.
