EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nick Brundle Photography showcases the ancient tower tombs in Syria's Palmyra, offering a glimpse into the rich history that once thrived within this UNESCO World Heritage site. The view from the castle on the hill allows us to appreciate the grandeur and architectural brilliance of these structures, which sadly fell victim to destruction at the hands of militant groups like ISIL during the Syrian civil war. Before 2011, when conflict engulfed Syria, Palmyra attracted over 150,000 tourists annually. This image serves as a poignant reminder of what has been lost due to violence and unrest. The vibrant colors of dusk illuminate these towering tombs against a sunny backdrop, creating an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and melancholic. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the majesty of Palmyra's ancient past. It invites us to reflect upon our shared heritage and mourns for what can never be fully restored. As we gaze upon these ruins devoid of people but brimming with historical significance, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for creation as well as its vulnerability to destruction. Nick Brundle Photography captures not only an architectural marvel but also encapsulates a powerful narrative about loss and resilience. This print serves as a testament to our collective responsibility in preserving cultural treasures while urging us never to forget those who have suffered amidst turmoil and conflict.
