EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Temple of Mithras, nestled near Carrawburgh along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. The image, skillfully captured by photographer Alun Bull and preserved by Historic England, transports us back to ancient Roman times. The temple stands as a testament to the rich religious heritage that once thrived within these historic walls. Bathed in soft clouds overhead, it exudes an air of mystery and tranquility. Its weathered stone columns and intricate architectural details tell tales of devotion and worship. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the profound influence religion had on Roman society. The Temple of Mithras served as a sacred space where followers would gather to honor their deity through rituals and ceremonies. Beyond its historical significance, this image also serves as a reminder of the enduring power that nature holds over man-made structures. The ethereal clouds hovering above add an element of otherworldliness to the scene, emphasizing how time has shaped both landscape and faith. Alun Bull's expert eye for composition allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of this ancient temple but also its harmonious integration with its surroundings. This print is a visual feast for those who seek glimpses into our shared past – a window into an era when religion played an integral role in shaping societies along Hadrian's Wall.
