EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of tourists ascending Sigiriya, also known as Lion Rock, in Sri Lanka. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient palace holds great historical and cultural significance. The image showcases the rich tradition and heritage of Sri Lankan culture against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty. The vibrant colors of the landscape, with lush green trees against a clear blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds, create a picturesque setting for this remarkable rock formation. The low angle view emphasizes the grandeur and magnitude of Sigiriya while highlighting the challenging climb that awaits those who dare to conquer it. Intriguingly, amidst the breathtaking scenery are background people going about their day, adding an element of human presence to this majestic scene. This juxtaposition between nature's wonders and human activity further enhances our appreciation for both. As we gaze up at Lion Rock from below, we can't help but be drawn into its mystical allure. Its steps represent not only physical ascent but also spiritual elevation as visitors immerse themselves in Buddhism's teachings that permeate every corner of Sri Lankan culture. This photograph by Charlie Harding/Robert Harding encapsulates the essence of travel photography - transporting us to far-off lands filled with wonder and inviting us to explore new horizons. It serves as a reminder that there is always more to discover beyond our own familiar surroundings.
