EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Amr Abdallah Dalsh, a man finds solace and respite near the Temple of Hercules at Amman Citadel. This ancient Roman landmark, nestled in the heart of Amman, Jordan, stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural history. The image showcases an unrecognizable figure sitting amidst the ruins, their silhouette blending seamlessly with the monumental pillars that surround them. The depth of field cleverly plays with our perception, blurring the background while highlighting the man's presence and emphasizing his connection to both nature and urbanity. As sunlight filters through the clear blue sky above, casting shadows upon weathered remains, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe for this historical site. The creative use of light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to the scene; it is as if time itself has momentarily stood still. With its combination of ancient Roman architecture and natural beauty, this photograph invites viewers on a journey through time. It serves as a reminder that even amid bustling modern cities like Amman, traces of our past can be found everywhere – waiting patiently for us to discover them.
