EDITORS COMMENTS
This landscape photograph captures the remote and awe-inspiring David Gareja Orthodox Monastery, nestled amidst arid mountains and desert in the Kakheti Region of Georgia. The monastery complex, founded in the 6th century by St. David Garejeli, is a testament to Georgian Orthodox heritage and has been recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. The image was taken during an adventurous bicycle journey across Europe, Middle-East, and Asia in spring 2013. It showcases the stunning beauty of this famous place in Eastern Georgia, with its clear blue skies and rugged mountain ranges serving as a dramatic backdrop for the monastery's ancient architecture. The photo highlights the isolation of this rural scene, where no people are present but only nature's grandeur reigns supreme. From its facade to its balcony overlooking the semi-arid surroundings, every detail of this historic site is captured with precision. As sunlight bathes the building exterior in warmth and illuminates every corner of this sacred space, it becomes evident why travelers from all over are drawn to explore this hidden gem. This image invites viewers on a visual journey through time and culture while showcasing Georgia's rich heritage. Photographer Jean-Philippe Tournut skillfully captures not just a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions that transport us to this enchanting location filled with spirituality and natural wonders.
