EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the once majestic windmills at Maitos, Chanakkale in Turkey, now reduced to ruins after being destroyed during World War 1 in 1923. These windmills were not just picturesque structures but served a vital purpose in the community by pumping water and supplying it to the surrounding areas.
The devastation caused by war is evident in this image as we see these iconic landmarks lying in disrepair. The date of 1923 marks a significant moment in history when the aftermath of conflict left its mark on this peaceful landscape.
Located on the Dardanelles Peninsula, these windmills were a symbol of resilience and innovation for centuries before they met their tragic fate. The Turkish countryside was forever changed by the destruction wrought upon these structures, serving as a reminder of the toll that war takes on both people and places.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when these windmills stood tall against the backdrop of rolling hills and clear skies. Now all that remains are memories captured through this poignant image, reminding us of the fragility of life and beauty amidst chaos.
