EDITORS COMMENTS
The ethereal glow of a blue-lit moon casts an enchanting aura over the majestic Roman pillars of the Temple of Hercules, situated at the Citadel in Amman, Jordan. This photograph captures a momentous occasion - the 70th anniversary of the United Nations. On October 24,2015, as darkness fell upon this ancient cityscape, Muhammad Hamed skillfully captured this breathtaking scene. The juxtaposition between ancient and modern is striking; these weathered ruins stand as a testament to history while being illuminated by contemporary lighting effects. The vibrant blue hue adds an otherworldly touch to this historic building, creating a picturesque sight that is both awe-inspiring and serene. In this image devoid of human presence, nature takes center stage. The moon's gentle radiance bathes the temple's pillars in soft light, highlighting their intricate details and emphasizing their grandeur against the night sky. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urban landscapes and bustling cities, nature still holds its own beauty and power. Muhammad Hamed's creative use of composition allows for ample copy space within this frame – inviting viewers to reflect on not only the significance of this anniversary but also on humanity's enduring connection with our past. This photograph encapsulates both atmospheric tranquility and historical reverence in one stunning visual narrative.
