EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and culture in one frame. Against a backdrop of sandstone buildings, a local man on his trusty donkey passes by the majestic Qasr al-Bint temple in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the grandeur of this UNESCO World Heritage Site from above. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot, showcasing the beauty of both nature and human architecture. The vertical composition emphasizes the height and scale of these ruins, reminding us of their once glorious past. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time to an era when donkeys were a common mode of transportation for locals navigating through narrow streets like these. This lone rider embarks on a journey through history, traversing paths that have witnessed centuries worth of stories. Petra's old ruins stand as testament to an ancient culture that thrived here long ago. The remains evoke a sense of awe and wonder as we contemplate their intricate architectural details amidst the rugged landscape. With clouds dotting the sky above, there is an air of mystery surrounding this archaeological site. It serves as a reminder that even though time has weathered these stones, they continue to hold secrets waiting to be discovered by those who venture into its depths. Eleanor Scriven's photography skillfully captures not just a moment frozen in time but also invites us into an immersive experience where past meets present.
