EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment at the Ruvanvelisaya Dagoba, Mahavihara in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The ancient monastery stands tall in the background, its white architecture contrasting beautifully against the lush greenery of nature. Perched on a wall are two gray langur monkeys, their tails hanging gracefully as they sit side by side. The image exudes a sense of togetherness and tranquility, reflecting the spirituality and rich history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. As one looks closer, it becomes evident that these monkeys are not mere spectators but an integral part of this sacred place. Their presence adds an element of life and playfulness to the otherwise stoic surroundings. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, this national landmark holds deep significance for both locals and travelers seeking glimpses into Sri Lankan culture and heritage. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the harmony between man-made structures and wildlife coexisting peacefully. Photographers Matthew Williams-Ellis and Robert Harding have skillfully captured this timeless scene with their expert use of composition and lighting. This stunning horizontal shot invites viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of this historical site while appreciating the natural wonders that surround it. Whether you are drawn to ancient architecture or fascinated by animal themes within photography, this print is sure to transport you back in time while igniting your sense of wonderment for both past civilizations and our shared natural world.
