EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of sheep grazing amidst the ancient Greek and Roman ruins of Cyrene in modern-day Shahaat, eastern Libya. The image transports us to a bygone era when this city was one of the principal hubs in the Hellenic world. Founded by Greeks in the 4th century BC and later Romanized, Cyrene holds an undeniable historical significance. The composition showcases a harmonious blend of nature and architecture as we see lush hills and a clear blue sky serving as a backdrop for the crumbling ruins. Through an open window frame, our gaze is drawn to the scattered sheep leisurely enjoying their meal on this historic site. The creative use of framing allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of ancient Greek architecture and the simplicity of everyday life. As we explore this visual narrative, it becomes evident that time has not diminished the allure of Cyrene's surroundings. Nearby lies Jebel al-Akhdar with its cool climate and verdant landscapes; however, there are no tourist facilities present here, preserving its untouched charm. Photographer Goran Tomasevic skillfully captures this moment where history intertwines with nature, reminding us that even amidst ruins, life continues to thrive. This photograph invites contemplation about our connection to ancient civilizations while highlighting their enduring impact on our contemporary world.
