EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Stephen Rafferty takes us on a journey to the heart of Istanbul, Turkey. The image showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Yerebatan Sarnici, also known as Basilica Cistern, located in Sultanahmet. Stepping into this underground architectural marvel feels like entering another world. The photograph captures the essence of this historical site with its dark and mysterious ambiance. As sunlight filters through the intricately designed columns, it creates a stunning play of shadows that adds depth and intrigue to the scene. The warm hues of orange and yellow cast an ethereal glow upon the ancient structure, evoking a sense of timelessness. Yerebatan Sarnici is an engineering masterpiece dating back to Byzantine times when it served as a water storage facility for Constantinople (now Istanbul). Its grandeur lies not only in its sheer size but also in its impeccable symmetry and precision craftsmanship. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are transported to a different era where urban life revolved around these subterranean reservoirs. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can transcend time and connect us with our rich cultural heritage. Stephen Rafferty's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this hidden gem beneath bustling Istanbul streets. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to explore history's depths while igniting our wanderlust for new travel destinations.
