EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney transports us to the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy's Campania region. The image captures a typical street scene, where ruined houses stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time and the devastating power of nature. As we gaze upon this snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the crumbling facades and weathered walls that once housed bustling Roman citizens. The intricate details etched into these ruins tell stories of lives lived centuries ago, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The architectural beauty is evident even amidst decay, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship and ingenuity of ancient civilizations. It serves as a reminder that no matter how advanced our modern societies become, there is much wisdom to be gleaned from those who came before us. This photograph also highlights the significance of archaeology in unraveling history's mysteries. Pompeii itself was buried under layers of volcanic ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, preserving its secrets until rediscovery centuries later. Today, it stands as an open-air museum for visitors from around the world to explore and learn about life during Roman times. Rooney's composition skillfully captures both the grandeur and fragility present in this scene. Through his lens, we are transported back in time while contemplating our own place within history's vast tapestry.
