EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment of modernity blending with tradition at the Royal Rock Temple, Golden Temple of Dambulla in Sri Lanka. A solitary monk finds solace beneath a sheltered window as he sits and gazes intently at his mobile phone. The juxtaposition of ancient architecture and contemporary technology highlights the ever-evolving nature of our world. The cave-like surroundings exude an aura of tranquility and spirituality, while the vibrant orange robes worn by the monk add a touch of color to the scene. As he concentrates on his device, one can't help but wonder about the connection he is making through this seemingly incongruous act. This UNESCO World Heritage Site holds immense historical significance and serves as a place for worship and cultural preservation. It stands as a testament to Sri Lanka's rich Buddhist heritage that has endured through centuries. Through this photograph, Charlie Harding/Robert Harding captures not only the beauty of architectural details but also invites us to reflect upon how technology has become intertwined with even the most sacred aspects of our lives. It prompts us to contemplate how traditions adapt in order to survive in an ever-changing world. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that despite advancements in communication methods, there will always be moments when individuals seek solitude amidst their busy lives – whether it be within ancient temples or beneath modern shelters – finding balance between past and present.
