EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Runkel/Robert Harding transports us to the ancient wonders of Tassili n Ajjer in Southern Algeria. The image showcases a mesmerizing display of old rock inscriptions, etched into the rugged landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage that lies within these rocky formations. The arid climate and vast desert backdrop add an air of mystery to these ancient carvings, which date back centuries. Against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, we can almost feel the scorching heat radiating from each stone surface. Amongst these intricate inscriptions, one cannot help but notice a striking representation of a giraffe - an animal native to Africa - carved with remarkable precision. This photograph not only captures the raw beauty and untouched nature of this remote location but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It invites us to ponder upon the lives and stories behind these enigmatic rock drawings left behind by our ancestors. As we delve deeper into this visual journey through time, it becomes evident why Tassili n Ajjer is considered one of Africa's most awe-inspiring travel destinations. This image encapsulates its allure perfectly; no people present, just nature's masterpiece illuminated under North Africa's golden sun.
