EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney takes us on a visual journey to the heart of Spain's Extremadura region, specifically to the city of Merida. Here, we are transported back in time to witness the awe-inspiring Los Milagros Aqueduct, an architectural marvel built by the Romans in the first century BC. The aqueduct stands tall and proud, showcasing its ancient grandeur against a backdrop of clear blue skies. Its intricate design is a testament to Roman engineering prowess, with rows upon rows of raised brick and stone arches stretching into the distance. Each arch seems to whisper stories from centuries past, reminding us of the rich historical legacy that still echoes through these ancient structures. As we gaze at this remarkable feat of human ingenuity, it becomes evident how water was channeled through this conduit system for practical purposes such as irrigation or supplying water to nearby settlements. The aqueduct's sheer size and meticulous construction leave us in awe of our ancestors' ability to create enduring works that have stood the test of time. Rooney's expert composition captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of wonder and reverence for history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even today, amidst modernity and progress, there is much wisdom and inspiration we can draw from our past.
