EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing ruins of the ancient city of Pella, Jordan. Once a prominent city during Roman times, Pella was part of the Decapolis, a league of ten cities situated on the eastern periphery of the Empire in Judea and Syria. Steeped in history, this archaeological site holds immense significance as it housed one of the earliest Christian churches. The image captures the remnants of grandeur amidst a desert landscape. The weathered pillars stand tall against time's relentless passage, offering glimpses into an era long gone by. These ruins serve as poignant reminders of a once-thriving civilization that met its tragic fate with the devastating Golan earthquake in 749. The photographer skillfully portrays both strength and vulnerability through their lens. The sharp details accentuate each column's intricate architecture while simultaneously highlighting their gradual decay. Vivid colors bring life to this ancient site, contrasting against nature's muted palette. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era where bustling streets and vibrant communities thrived within these walls. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire to preserve our cultural heritage for generations to come.
