EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the juxtaposition of old and new in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The iconic Cathedral of St. Sebastian stands tall, its grandeur and intricate architecture representing centuries of Christian history. In the foreground, the modern Petrobas Building adds a touch of contemporary flair to the scene. The vibrant colors showcased in this image bring life to both structures, highlighting their significance within the city's landscape. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported to a place where tradition meets progress. The Cathedral of St. Sebastian serves as a symbol of faith and devotion for locals and tourists alike. Its towering spires reach towards the heavens, inviting worshippers into its sacred space. Meanwhile, the Petrobas Building represents Rio de Janeiro's ever-evolving urban environment - a testament to growth and innovation. This print not only captures two architectural marvels but also tells a story about Rio de Janeiro itself - a city that embraces both its rich heritage and its future aspirations. It invites viewers to explore the beauty found within religious landmarks while appreciating how they harmoniously coexist with modernity. Nedra Westwater/Robert Harding masterfully encapsulates this dynamic contrast through his lens, offering us an opportunity to witness this remarkable sight from afar or reminisce about our own experiences in this vibrant South American metropolis.
