EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Dakers for EyeUbiquitous, we are transported to the ancient site of the Temple of Artemis in Selcuk, Izmir Province, Turkey. The image showcases a magnificent Corinthian column adorned with an intricately designed protective lion mask, nestled beneath the shade of a majestic palm tree. The architectural marvels of antiquity come alive as we witness the grandeur and craftsmanship that once defined this sacred place. The Corinthian column stands tall and proud, its elegant design reflecting the mastery of ancient Greek architects. Its smooth surface bears witness to centuries gone by, while the protective lion mask at its base adds an element of mystique and symbolism. As our gaze extends beyond the column's imposing presence, we are greeted by a lush palm tree swaying gently in the breeze. Its vibrant green leaves create a striking contrast against the weathered stone backdrop, reminding us that nature has always coexisted harmoniously with human creations. This photograph serves as a window into history and invites us to contemplate both human ingenuity and our connection with nature. It is a testament to how architecture can transcend time and continue to inspire awe even in modern times. Through John Dakers' lens, we are reminded of Turkey's rich cultural heritage and its significance within Eurasia – where Europe meets Asia – making it truly emblematic of cross-cultural exchange throughout history.
