EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Cathal McNaughton, a large crucifix stands as a symbol of faith and devotion below the majestic mountains in the Peloponnese region of Greece. As the sun sets on this serene landscape, its golden rays illuminate the cross, creating a striking contrast against the darkening sky. The image exudes an atmosphere of tranquility and spirituality, inviting viewers to contemplate their own beliefs and find solace in nature's beauty. The elevated view adds depth to the composition, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of the mountains and the significance of this religious symbol. The creative use of lighting enhances our perception of this scene; while darkness envelops most elements in sight, it is through divine illumination that we witness hope shining brightly amidst uncertainty. With no people present in frame, one can almost hear whispers carried by gentle winds or feel a sense of reverence emanating from these sacred grounds. This photograph serves as a reminder that religion transcends borders and cultures - here in Greece, Christianity finds its place within traditional customs and breathtaking landscapes. It captures not only an external moment but also an internal journey towards introspection and spiritual connection. Cathal McNaughton's skillful lens has frozen time for us to witness this powerful tableau – where faith meets nature's magnificence – leaving us inspired by both humanity's capacity for worship and Mother Earth's ability to inspire awe.
