EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nick Brundle Photography transports us to the ancient ruins of Palmyra, Syria. Once a bustling city that attracted over 150,000 tourists annually, Palmyra now stands as a haunting reminder of the devastating Syrian conflict that began in 2011. The image showcases the majestic beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its weathered and broken structures surrounded by palm trees. The absence of people accentuates the sense of emptiness and abandonment that has befallen this once vibrant place. Intriguingly captured at dawn, we witness a sandstorm engulfing the ruins, symbolizing not only the harsh environment but also the turbulent history that has plagued this region. The presence of militant groups like ISIL further adds to the despair felt within these crumbling walls. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to an architectural column standing defiantly amidst rubble and demolished structures. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and architectural grandeur lost in time. Through his lens, Nick Brundle captures not just an old ruin or mere photography subject; he encapsulates centuries of history and culture reduced to ghost town status. This powerful image reminds us of our duty to preserve such precious remnants for future generations while highlighting how conflicts can irreversibly alter landscapes forever.
