EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting Darb al-Labbana hillside neighborhood in Cairo, Egypt. The image showcases a close-up of the weathered windows of an old house, revealing a glimpse into the rich history and architectural wonders that lie within. Taken on September 3,2019, by talented photographer Mohamed Abd El Ghany for Reuters Images, this snapshot beautifully captures the essence of urban decay and resilience. The worn exterior of the house tells a story of time's passage and bears witness to countless generations that have called this place home. The intricate metal grille adorning the windows adds an artistic touch to this dilapidated structure. Shadows playfully dance across its surface as sunlight peeks through each individual pane. Through this photograph, we are reminded of how even ruins can possess their own unique beauty. The creative use of light and shadow highlights every crack and hole in these ancient walls while emphasizing their enduring strength amidst destruction. In a world where progress often bulldozes over history, it is important to cherish remnants like these that stand as reminders of our past. This image serves as a poignant tribute to architecture's ability to withstand time's relentless march forward. As we gaze upon this scene devoid of people but brimming with stories untold, we cannot help but feel both melancholy for what has been lost and awe-inspired by what remains standing against all odds.
