EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by CM Dixon transports us to the breathtaking landscape of Sigiriya, an ancient rock fortress nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's Central Province. The image captures a panoramic vista that showcases both the natural beauty and architectural marvels of this historic site. Sigiriya holds immense archaeological significance as it was chosen by King Kasyapa in the 5th century CE to be his new capital. Perched atop this imposing rock formation, he built his palace and adorned its sides with vibrant frescoes that have stood the test of time. The photograph reveals terraced steps leading up to the summit, hinting at a challenging yet rewarding ascent for visitors seeking to explore this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site. Against a backdrop of lush hillside greenery, we see people traversing these ancient steps, adding a sense of scale and human presence to an otherwise timeless scene. As we gaze upon this image captured in the 20th century, we are reminded not only of Sigiriya's rich history but also its enduring allure as a tourist attraction. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to create awe-inspiring structures harmoniously blending with nature. CM Dixon masterfully encapsulates all these elements within one frame, inviting us on an imaginary journey through time and space where past meets present on top of Sigiriya's majestic rock fortress.
