EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient ruins of Philippi, Greece. The image showcases a hauntingly beautiful scene - the remains of a gateway and wall that were built for Octavia over the assassins of Julius Caesar in 42 BC. As we gaze upon this historical site, we are reminded of the rich past and incredible civilizations that once thrived here. The dilapidated state of the ruins adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the photograph. Nature has slowly reclaimed its territory, with vines creeping up the weathered stones, creating a striking contrast between man-made structures and natural elements. The photographer's skillful use of color brings life to this ancient relic. The warm hues evoke a sense of nostalgia while highlighting every intricate detail etched into these aged walls. It is as if time itself has been captured within this frame. Visiting Philippi is like stepping into a living history book. This archaeological site serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout centuries gone by. With each step taken on these ancient grounds, one can't help but feel humbled by their surroundings. Tony Gervis/Robert Harding's photography allows us to experience this remarkable destination from afar, igniting our wanderlust and curiosity about other hidden gems waiting to be discovered across Europe's diverse landscapes.
