EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney transports us to the enchanting region of Cappadocia in Turkey. The image showcases the mesmerizing landscape of Pigeon Valley, where fairy chimneys with dovecotes stand tall against a vibrant blue sky. These unique rock formations, resembling phallic symbols, have been carved over centuries by natural erosion and human hands. Cappadocia's rich history and architectural wonders are beautifully captured in this photograph. The town of Goreme, nestled amidst these breathtaking caves and chimneys, is known for its troglodyte dwellings that date back to ancient times. These cave houses were once home to early Christians seeking refuge from persecution. What makes this scene even more intriguing is the fact that pigeon droppings are used as fertilizer in this region. This traditional practice has been passed down through generations and continues to contribute to the fertile soil that sustains agriculture in Cappadocia. Rooney's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the natural beauty and cultural significance of Pigeon Valley. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be transported into a world where nature intertwines seamlessly with human ingenuity. It serves as a reminder of how our surroundings shape our traditions and how they continue to inspire awe and wonder today.
