EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing blend of ancient history and festive cheer in Greece. Taken on December 13,2016, it captures the iconic Parthenon temple perched atop the Acropolis hill, adorned with dazzling Christmas lights decorations. The juxtaposition of this timeless architectural wonder against the vibrant holiday illuminations creates a truly enchanting sight. The Parthenon stands as a testament to Greece's rich cultural heritage and serves as a symbol of its glorious past. Its majestic columns and intricate details are beautifully accentuated by the twinkling lights that envelop it during Christmastime. This image encapsulates the harmonious coexistence of tradition and modernity, where centuries-old landmarks embrace contemporary festivities. As night falls over Athens, an ethereal glow emanates from this historical site, casting an otherworldly aura across the cityscape. The warm hues of reds, greens, and golds create a magical atmosphere that captivates both locals and visitors alike. It is a reminder that even amidst bustling urban life, there is always room for celebration and joy. Photographer Aris Messinis skillfully captures this breathtaking scene through his lens for Agence France-Presse (AFP). His artistry allows us to experience firsthand how Greece embraces the spirit of Christmas while honoring its remarkable heritage. This print serves as a beautiful memento capturing not just one moment in time but also evoking emotions tied to tradition, beauty, and unity during this special season.
