EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Dove Cots, Near Alexandria, Egypt, 2007," captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Egypt's ancient Mizraim region. Taken by renowned photographer Ethel Davies in the 21st century, this image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the centuries-old traditions that continue to thrive in this fascinating country. The photograph features a serene scene of traditional dove cots nestled amidst the golden sand dunes. These unique structures, used for centuries to house and protect doves for their prized droppings, have long been a symbol of Egypt's agricultural heritage. The cots, with their intricate designs and delicate arches, stand as testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Egypt's artisans. Despite the passage of time, these structures remain a vital part of the rural landscape, a connection to Egypt's past that endures in the present. The warm, golden light of the setting sun bathes the scene in a gentle glow, casting long shadows and adding depth and texture to the image. The photograph's vibrant colors and rich details offer a vivid glimpse into the world of Egypt's rural communities, a world that continues to be shaped by the rhythms of tradition and the ever-changing sands of the desert. Ethel Davies' masterful composition and use of light and shadow evoke a sense of wonder and awe, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of Egypt's ancient traditions.
