EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney transports us to the enchanting region of Cappadocia in Turkey. The image captures the essence of Zelve, an ancient village nestled within three valleys adorned with abandoned houses and churches. Once a thriving community, this picturesque valley was inhabited until 1952 when it was deemed too perilous for human habitation. The erosion-induced geographic features showcased in this photograph are truly awe-inspiring. The rock formations, eroded over centuries, create a surreal landscape that seems straight out of a fairytale. These troglodyte caves carved into the rocks served as homes for generations past and offer a glimpse into their unique way of life. As we gaze at this remarkable scene, we can't help but marvel at the resilience and ingenuity of those who once called these caves home. This open-air museum stands as a testament to their resourcefulness and adaptability amidst challenging circumstances. Cappadocia's Zelve Open Air Museum is not only an archaeological treasure but also an alluring destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in history and culture. Its rich heritage combined with its natural beauty make it a must-visit location for anyone exploring Turkey's Middle Eastern charm. Hugh Rooney's expertly captured image invites us to embark on our own visual journey through time, allowing us to appreciate the splendor of this forgotten world frozen in stone.
