EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Tree of the Janissaries, a legendary tree located in the serene park by the side of the ancient Saint Irene (Hagia Irene or Hagia Eirene) Church in Istanbul, Turkey. The Tree of the Janissaries, a venerable tree with a concrete support, stands proudly in the outer courtyard of the Topkapi Palace, a historic site and a former residence of the Ottoman sultans. The tree is believed to have been a gathering place for the Janissaries, an elite military corps in the Ottoman Empire, and is a symbol of the rich history and cultural heritage of Istanbul, the former Constantinople. The Tree of the Janissaries, with its gnarled trunk and sprawling branches, stands in stark contrast to the modern concrete support, a testament to the enduring presence of the ancient tree amidst the passage of time. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Janissaries roamed the streets of Istanbul, and the city was known as the center of the Eastern Orthodox world. The tree continues to be a popular tourist attraction, a reminder of the city's rich history and the enduring power of nature.
