EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Midnight Sun" captures the enchanting evening summer light casting a golden glow over St Olafs Church in Tallinn, Estonia. Steeped in history, this medieval church is believed to have been constructed in the 12th century and once held the title of the tallest building in the world. However, its significance extends beyond architectural achievements. From 1944 until 1991, during a tumultuous period under Soviet rule, the spire of St Olafs Church served as more than just an iconic landmark. The KGB utilized it as a radio tower and surveillance point, reminding us of its role as both witness and participant in Estonia's complex past. Photographed by John and Tina Reid, this image beautifully captures not only the stunning evening light but also showcases Tallinn's old town charm. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur of this basilica against the backdrop of Baltic Sea views. With their artistic lens capturing every detail with precision and finesse, John and Tina Reid present us with a visual masterpiece that transports viewers to another time. This print serves as a testament to their skillful photography while offering an opportunity for admirers to bring home a piece of European history blended seamlessly with natural beauty.
