EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Amr Abdallah Dalsh, we witness a powerful moment of spirituality and awe-inspiring natural beauty. A lone tourist stands on the summit of Mount Moses, near the city of Saint Catherine in the Sinai Peninsula, as he witnesses an enchanting sunrise that bathes the landscape in golden hues. With eyes closed and hands clasped together in prayer, this visitor connects with something greater than himself. The significance of his location becomes apparent as we learn that according to biblical accounts, it was here on Mount Moses where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. The image is a testament to the enduring power of faith and its ability to draw people closer to their beliefs even amidst breathtaking surroundings. As rays of sunlight pierce through clouds and illuminate both man-made structures and rugged terrain alike, one cannot help but feel a sense of tranquility emanating from this scene. This photograph serves as a reminder that nature has always been intertwined with human spirituality throughout history. It captures not only a personal moment for this tourist but also encapsulates the timeless connection between mankind and our environment. Amr Abdallah Dalsh's skillful composition allows us to share in this profound experience vicariously. Through his lens, we are transported to Mount Moses on December 9th, 2015 – witnessing both an extraordinary sunrise and an individual's heartfelt devotion at one of humanity's most sacred sites.
