EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Structure 17, also known as "the Twins" at the Ek Balam Mayan archaeological site in Yucatan, Mexico. The image showcases the remarkable architectural prowess of the ancient Mayan civilization during the late Classic Period. The vibrant colors of this photograph bring to life the rich history and cultural heritage that permeates every stone of this magnificent structure. Standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery, these ancient ruins evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about their purpose and significance. As we gaze upon this high-angle view, we are transported back in time to the 7th or 8th century when these structures were first erected. The intricate details and precision evident in their construction speak volumes about the advanced engineering skills possessed by the Mayans. This travel destination is not only a testament to human ingenuity but also an opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in an ancient culture that has left an indelible mark on our world. As we explore these ruins, we can't help but marvel at how nature intertwines with architecture, as seen through the tree gracefully embracing one side of Structure 17. Richard Maschmeyer's masterful photography allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and subtleties of this historical gem. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these remnants continue to captivate our imagination and inspire further exploration into our shared past.
