EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mel Longhurst captures the enchanting beauty of Piazza Del Duomo in Messina, Sicily. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Orion Fountain, a true testament to Italian architecture and craftsmanship. Standing tall amidst the bustling square, this iconic tourist attraction exudes a sense of grandeur and history. The fountain's intricate carvings and stonework showcase the mastery of Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli, an esteemed sculptor from centuries past. As I gaze at this remarkable piece of art, I am transported back in time to an era when such monuments were created to leave a lasting legacy for future generations. In this photograph, an elderly gentleman with a majestic white beard sits peacefully beside the fountain. His presence adds depth and character to the scene, reminding us that even amidst modernity, there are still traces of ancient wisdom lingering within these historic walls. Underneath a clear blue sky on a sunny summer day, water cascades down gracefully from naked statues adorning the fountain. This juxtaposition between medieval design elements and nature's tranquility creates an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and serene. Mel Longhurst has skillfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the essence of this cultural gem in his photography. Through his lens, we can appreciate every detail - from decorative marble accents to monumental sculptures - inviting us to embark on our own journey through time as we explore Sicily's rich heritage.
