EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Ziggurat, an ancient architectural wonder nestled in the old Assyrian town of Ashur (Assur) in Iraq. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this remarkable structure stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Middle East. The image showcases the grandeur of this centuries-old ruin against a backdrop of clear blue skies adorned with fluffy white clouds. The horizontal composition allows for an immersive experience, transporting viewers to this enchanting travel destination. With no people present in the frame, one can fully appreciate the solitude and tranquility that surrounds this historical gem. The absence of human presence also emphasizes its timeless beauty and invites contemplation about civilizations long gone. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how these ancient towns were once bustling centers of life and activity. Today, they stand as silent witnesses to bygone eras, inviting us to explore their mysteries and connect with our shared human heritage. Michael Runkel's masterful photography skillfully captures every detail - from the weathered textures on the ziggurat's surface to its imposing scale against nature's canvas. This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a window into another time and place – beckoning us to embark on our own journey through history.
