EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the raw energy and excitement of a traditional horse race in the heart of the Jordanian desert, near the ancient city of Petra. Circa 1995, the scene unfolds as Arabian horses and their riders, predominantly Bedouin men, charge forward, raising a cloud of dust in their wake. The nineties, with its vibrant colors and rich textures, encapsulates the essence of this timeless tradition. The horses, with their powerful builds and flowing manes, demonstrate their strength and agility as they gallop across the sandy terrain. The riders, dressed in traditional garb, lean low over their animals, their faces etched with determination and focus. The air is thick with anticipation as the competitors jostle for position, their kicks sending plumes of dust into the air. The backdrop of the Jordanian desert adds an otherworldly quality to the image, with its towering sand dunes and stark, rocky landscape. The sun beats down mercilessly, casting long shadows and bathing the scene in a warm, golden light. The stark contrast between the modern-day race and the ancient city of Petra, which can be seen in the distance, serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to thrive in this region. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Arab horsemen and their connection to their animals, a bond that has been passed down through generations. It offers a glimpse into a world that is both exotic and familiar, and invites us to appreciate the raw beauty and power of the natural world.
