EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Kokino megalithic observatory in all its glory during a summer solstice celebration in Kumanovo on June 21,2013. The long exposure technique used by photographer Ognen Teofilovski beautifully captures the essence of this ancient site. Located 70 km north of Skopje, Macedonia's capital, the observatory dates back an astonishing 3,800 years and was discovered in 2001. As dusk settles over the landscape, the silhouette of the observatory stands majestically atop a hill against a serene blue sky backdrop. The creative use of light trails adds an ethereal touch to this already breathtaking scene. With no people present, nature takes center stage as stars begin to emerge in the night sky. The significance of this historic site is not lost on us; NASA ranks it as the fourth oldest observatory worldwide after Egypt's Abu Simbel, Britain's Stonehenge, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat. This image transports us back in time and allows us to marvel at humanity's fascination with celestial bodies throughout history. The atmosphere captured here is one of wonder and reverence for our ancestors' ingenuity. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years ago, humans sought to understand their place within the cosmos. This photograph invites viewers to celebrate both our natural world and our shared human heritage while leaving ample room for contemplation under its starry canopy.
