EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Chinguetti, a medieval trading center in northern Mauritania. The sandy square at this UNESCO World Heritage Site is beautifully depicted, showcasing the rural scene and its rich architectural heritage. The image transports you to this remote African location, where time seems to stand still. In the foreground, we see four men standing beneath a majestic tree, adding a human element to the otherwise deserted square. Their presence emphasizes the significance of this historical site as a meeting point for traders from across Africa and beyond. The warm colors of the sand and buildings create an inviting atmosphere that beckons travelers to explore further. The horizontal composition allows us to take in every detail - from the intricate architecture of the surrounding buildings to the vastness of the desert landscape stretching into infinity. Photographers Michael Runkel and Robert Harding have masterfully captured not only a visually stunning scene but also evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about this hidden gem in Mauritania. This photograph serves as both an invitation for adventure seekers yearning for unique travel destinations and as a reminder of our world's diverse cultural heritage preserved by UNESCO.
