EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney takes us on a journey to the heart of Turkey's Cappadocia region, specifically the 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. Zelve is a place where three valleys converge, creating a unique landscape filled with eroded rock formations. These geological features, shaped by centuries of erosion, have transformed into troglodyte caves that served as housing for generations past. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back in time, imagining what life must have been like within these ancient dwellings. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this open-air museum, highlighting not only its historical significance but also its allure as a tourist destination. The contrast between the rugged rocks and delicate cave houses creates an intriguing visual narrative that draws us in further. Rooney's lens invites us to explore the rich cultural heritage embedded within these stone walls while reminding us of nature's power to shape our surroundings over time. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of how history can be preserved through photography and encourages us to appreciate both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's artistic touch.
