EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of African dust from the Saharan desert enveloping the vibrant city of Athens. The Parthenon temple, perched atop the majestic Acropolis hill, stands as a stoic witness to this extraordinary natural phenomenon. Taken from Lycabettus hill, the distant view showcases how this sandstorm has transformed the urban cityscape into an ethereal sepia-toned landscape. The image depicts a surreal blend of ancient architecture and modern city life, where layers of dust create a unique atmosphere. The creative use of composition highlights both the grandeur of the Parthenon and its vulnerability in face of nature's power. With no people present in this frame, it emphasizes that even timeless landmarks can be humbled by environmental forces. The photograph invites contemplation on our relationship with our surroundings and raises awareness about climate change's impact on cities worldwide. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements and bustling urban developments, we are still at nature's mercy. Alkis Konstantinidis' lens skillfully captures this momentary convergence between two vastly different landscapes – one ancient and enduring, another transient yet powerful. This stunning aerial view offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on their place within an ever-changing world while appreciating both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's indomitable force.
