EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking moment at the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, Greece. As darkness falls and the night sky unveils its celestial wonders, a lunar eclipse takes place, casting an ethereal glow over the ancient Greek ruins. The moon, partially covered by Earth's shadow, adds an intriguing touch to this already picturesque scene. The Temple of Poseidon stands tall against the backdrop of the galaxy-filled space above. Its detailed architecture and unique design are illuminated by the orange hues created by this natural phenomenon. Though no people are visible in this shot, one can imagine a crowd gathered here, admiring the view with awe and reverence. As we gaze upon this image, it reminds us of both our smallness in comparison to the vastness of nature and our deep connection to ancient cultures and their faiths. The air feels charged with spirituality as worshipers once did centuries ago within these very walls. Costas Baltas' creative use of light captures not only the beauty in nature but also highlights how astronomy intertwines with human history. This tourist attraction remains a giant-sized testament to ancient Greek architecture's enduring legacy while serving as a reminder that even amidst ruins, there is still immense beauty to be found in our world today.
