EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Algeria's Sahara desert, specifically Tassili-n-Ajjer National Park. The park, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982, is renowned for its ancient rock carvings that offer a glimpse into the region's rich history and archeological significance. The image captures an exquisite example of these intricate carvings etched onto a horizontal rock face. The artistry displayed here reflects the artistic prowess and craftsmanship of civilizations long gone by. With animal themes dominating the scene, it becomes evident that these engravings were deeply connected to nature and wildlife. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to antiquity when human representation was skillfully depicted alongside animal representation. It is fascinating to witness how our ancestors used rocks as their canvas to tell stories and preserve their cultural heritage. Set against the backdrop of Tassili-n-Ajjer National Park's vast outdoors, this photograph evokes a sense of awe and wonder at both nature's grandeur and humanity's creative spirit. Although devoid of people in the frame, one can't help but feel humbled by our place within history as we contemplate these ancient works of art
