EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bibliotheka Alexandrina, Alexandria, Egypt, 2007" by Ethel Davies, transports us to the enchanting shores of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria, Egypt. The image, captured in the 21st century, showcases the stunning Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern architectural marvel that pays homage to the ancient Library of Alexandria, a legendary institution of knowledge and wisdom. The photograph's foreground is graced by an ancient Egyptian statue, its weathered features standing in stark contrast to the sleek, contemporary lines of the library behind it. The statue, believed to represent the god Mizraim, the Egyptian god of the Nile, adds an air of mystique and historical significance to the scene. The rich colors and vibrant hues of the photograph bring the scene to life, inviting us to imagine the stories and secrets that lie within the walls of the library and the depths of the ancient statue's history. The juxtaposition of the old and the new, the ancient and the modern, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring nature of human curiosity and the quest for knowledge. Ethel Davies, a skilled photographer, expertly captures the essence of this unique and intriguing location, offering us a glimpse into the past and the present, and inviting us to ponder the connections that bind them together. This image is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to new places, to open our minds, and to inspire our imaginations.
