EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Durbar Square in Bhaktapur, nestled within the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. Taken on a foggy winter morning in November 2005, the image showcases a pair of majestic guardian lions perched upon the steps of an ancient temple. The misty atmosphere adds an ethereal quality to this scene, evoking a sense of mystery and timelessness. These magnificent bronze statues stand as symbols of protection and security, their presence instilling a feeling of safety amidst the bustling city outside. With their fierce and menacing expressions, these male and female lions exude power and strength while embodying elements of ancient civilization. The intricate carvings adorning this temple's structure are testaments to Nepal's rich cultural heritage. Each detail reflects the country's deep-rooted faith and spiritualism, creating an aura that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. As we gaze at this photograph, we cannot help but be captivated by the juxtaposition between nature and human creation. The guardian lions serve as guardians not only for this sacred space but also for those who seek solace within its walls. Don Smith/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this moment in time when history intertwines with modernity. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate the beauty found within ancient civilizations while reminding us that even in our fast-paced world, there is still room for reverence towards tradition and protection against all that threatens it.
