EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of nature reclaiming ancient ruins. The roots of towering trees gracefully shroud a relief at Sambor Prei Kuk, also known as "the temple in the richness of the forest". Located in Kampong Thom province, Cambodia, this archaeological site holds immense historical significance and has been recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site. The image showcases the perfect harmony between man-made structures and the wild environment surrounding them. The intricate carvings on the wall are partially hidden by lush greenery, emphasizing how time and nature have intertwined to create a breathtaking sight. With no people present, it allows us to focus solely on the magnificence of this natural spectacle. The creative use of light highlights every detail with precision – from delicate leaves to rugged tree trunks – while an expansive sky serves as a backdrop for this enchanting scene. It is evident that weather plays its part here too; rainwater nourishes these roots, enabling them to thrive and envelop their surroundings even further. In this photograph by Pring Samrang for Reuters Images, we witness not only the resilience of nature but also its ability to transform forgotten relics into living works of art. This image stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's unrivaled power in creating enduring beauty within our world.
