EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient civilization in the heart of Nepal's Kathmandu valley. Taken on a foggy winter dawn in November 2005, the image showcases two magnificent stone lions standing proudly outside Durbar Square in Bhaktapur. These intricately carved statues serve as both decorative ornaments and symbols of protection. The misty atmosphere adds an ethereal touch to the scene, shrouding these majestic creatures in an air of mystery. With their menacing yet ornate features, they appear both threatening and embellished at the same time. As the sun rises slowly behind them, casting a warm glow on their fur-like stone texture, it creates a striking contrast against the cloudless blue sky. These fierce guardians stand tall atop a railing, defending this ancient heritage site with unwavering determination. Their presence evokes a sense of safety amidst an ever-changing world. The elaborate stone work and intricate detailing showcase the rich cultural history that permeates every corner of this South Asian capital. Don Smith/Robert Harding's photography perfectly encapsulates not only the beauty but also the raw power emanating from these stone carvings. It serves as a reminder that even in nature's most ruthless moments, there is always something or someone safeguarding our precious past for generations to come.
