EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney takes us on a journey to the heart of Turkey's Cappadocia region, specifically to the Zelve Open Air Museum. The image showcases the haunting beauty of abandoned houses and churches that once thrived in this now desolate valley. Zelve is a place where three valleys intersect, creating a unique convergence of forgotten homes and religious structures. For years, these troglodyte caves provided shelter for countless generations until 1952 when safety concerns forced its inhabitants to leave. The erosion caused by time and nature has transformed these rock formations into an awe-inspiring sight. Each house tells a story, whispering tales of past lives lived within their walls. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of humanity throughout history. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining what life must have been like for those who called Zelve home. The intricate details etched into each cave dwelling evoke curiosity about their former occupants' daily routines and spiritual practices. Today, Zelve stands as an open-air museum attracting tourists from around the world who come to witness this remarkable geographic feature firsthand. Hugh Rooney's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the architectural marvels created by human hands and the power of nature's transformative forces in shaping our world.
