EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney takes us on a journey to the heart of Turkey's Cappadocia region, specifically Zelve Open Air Museum. The image showcases the haunting beauty of abandoned houses and churches that were once inhabited until 1952 when safety concerns forced residents to leave. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are struck by the convergence of three valleys filled with these forsaken structures. The eroded rock formations surrounding them add an ethereal touch, reminding us of nature's power and time's relentless passage. Zelve stands as a testament to the troglodyte lifestyle prevalent in this region for centuries. These cave-like dwellings carved into rocks provided shelter and protection from harsh elements. Now they serve as silent witnesses to a forgotten era. Rooney skillfully captures the essence of this unique geographic feature, highlighting both its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. This photograph invites us to contemplate the transience of human existence against nature's enduring presence. While exploring this image, one can't help but imagine what life was like within these ancient walls - stories whispered through time that now echo only in our imagination. It serves as a reminder that even in abandonment, there is still beauty waiting to be discovered. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation, Hugh Rooney has masterfully immortalized Zelve Open Air Museum through his lens, allowing viewers worldwide to experience its mystique and allure firsthand.
