EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney takes us on a journey to the heart of Turkey's Cappadocia region, specifically to the enchanting Zelve Open Air Museum. The image captures the essence of this historical site, showcasing a convergence of abandoned houses and churches nestled within three picturesque valleys. Zelve was once a thriving community until 1952 when it was deemed too hazardous for human habitation. However, its rich history and unique architectural wonders continue to draw tourists from around the world. One such marvel is depicted in this photograph - a mesmerizing monastery complex that resembles an upside-down bowl meticulously carved out of solid rock. The eroded formations surrounding these ancient structures add an ethereal touch to the scene, highlighting nature's artistic prowess over time. These troglodyte caves served as homes for generations past, providing shelter and protection against harsh elements. Rooney's lens beautifully captures not only the physical beauty but also the cultural significance of Zelve Open Air Museum. It serves as a reminder of how civilizations can thrive amidst challenging landscapes while leaving behind enduring remnants for future generations to admire and learn from. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in Turkey's rich heritage and contemplating the resilience and ingenuity displayed by those who once called Zelve home.
