EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Balcony of Kolossi Castle, located near Limassol in Cyprus. The castle, constructed by the esteemed Knights of the Order of St John in 1454, stands proudly on the grounds where a fortress from the 13th century once stood. The image showcases a remarkable architectural feature from the 15th century, highlighting the grandeur and historical significance of this medieval stronghold. The vibrant colors and rich textures bring to life every intricate detail of this magnificent structure. Surrounded by lush greenery and Mediterranean flora, nature gracefully intertwines with history in this picturesque setting. A sharp shrub adds an element of contrast against the sturdy stone walls while a towering tree majestically frames the scene. Photographer Vivienne Sharp masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also evoked a sense of timelessness through her lens. This print transports viewers back to an era when knights defended their order within these very walls. As we admire this stunning portrayal, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its importance as a cultural heritage site. It serves as a reminder that our past is intricately woven into our present and should be cherished for generations to come.
