EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by the skilled lens of Ethel Davies in 2019, the ancient site of Olympia in Ilia, Peloponnese, Greece, is showcased in all its timeless beauty. Dating back to the Eighth century BC, Olympia is a place steeped in history and cultural significance, as it was the location of the original Olympic games. The photograph presents a stunning contrast between the ancient ruins and the vibrant colors of the contemporary landscape. The ruins, adorned with ivy and moss, stand as a testament to the rich history of ancient Greece, while the lush greenery and clear blue sky highlight the harmony between the past and the present. Olympia was once a thriving center of the ancient Greek world, with temples dedicated to gods such as Zeus and Hera. The site was also part of the Roman and later the Ottoman Empires, adding layers of history and cultural influences to its rich tapestry. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be transported back in time, to imagine the roar of the crowds during the Olympic games, or the awe-inspiring rituals performed in the temples. Yet, the modern world is never far away, with the occasional glimpses of the surrounding landscape serving as a reminder of the passage of time and the ever-evolving nature of our world. Ethel Davies' photograph of Olympia is a breathtaking reminder of the enduring power of history and the beauty of the natural world. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and consider the future, all within the context of one of the most iconic sites in ancient Greece.
