EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a general view of the ancient city of Babylon near Hilla, Iraq. Taken by Thaier Al-Sudani on July 5,2019, it offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural marvels of this renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site. The image beautifully captures the essence of an ancient civilization with its creative use of copy space and inclusion of a palm tree in the foreground. The photograph highlights an impressive wall that stands as a testament to Babylon's grandeur, while also hinting at its unfortunate state of decay. The absence of people allows viewers to immerse themselves in the serenity and mystique surrounding this tourist attraction. Babylon's significance as one of humanity's earliest urban centers is palpable through its well-preserved structures and remnants. This particular shot evokes thoughts about ancient Egyptian architecture due to its resemblance to some iconic buildings from that era. However, it also serves as a reminder that time has not been kind to these historical treasures; many have fallen victim to destruction over centuries. Nevertheless, this image encapsulates both the resilience and fragility inherent in our world's ancient civilizations. Thaier Al-Sudani masterfully captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional weight carried by such sites. Through his lens, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon our shared human heritage.
