EDITORS COMMENTS
This infrared photograph, taken by the esteemed Professor Robert Williams Wood in 1911, showcases the ancient Temple of Girgenti in Valle dei Templi, Agrigento, Sicily. The Temple, a significant historical landmark in Sicily, Italy, is bathed in an ethereal glow, thanks to the unique infrared photography technique employed by Professor Wood. Infrared photography, a specialized form of image-making, captures light beyond the visible spectrum, resulting in images that often exhibit surreal and otherworldly qualities. In this photograph, the lush vegetation surrounding the temple appears vibrant and radiant, while the temple itself takes on a dreamlike quality, its intricate details and textures accentuated against the verdant backdrop. Professor Robert Williams Wood (1868-1955), an American physicist and inventor, was a pioneer in the field of infrared photography. He is credited with developing several important techniques and inventions, including the first practical infrared filter, which allowed for the capture of infrared images like this one. The Temple of Girgenti, also known as the Temple of Concordia, is one of the most well-preserved ancient temples in Sicily. It was built in the Doric order around 440 BC and is dedicated to the goddess Concordia. The temple's intricate carvings and columns are a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Greece and Rome, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and photographers alike. This infrared photograph by Professor Wood offers a unique perspective on the Temple of Girgenti, revealing its hidden beauty and intricacies in a way that is both captivating and thought-provoking. It serves as a reminder of the power of photography to transport us to new worlds and to reveal the hidden wonders of our own.
