EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Qasr Zarafshan, standing proudly to the north and overlooking the ancient 12th century Minaret of Jam in Ghor Province, Afghanistan. The image showcases the rich history and archaeological wonders that lie within this region of Asia. The crumbling walls of Qasr Zarafshan tell a story of a once-thriving civilization, now reduced to ruins. Its weathered facade stands as a testament to the passage of time and serves as a reminder of the resilience and endurance of human creations. The low angle view chosen by photographers Jane Sweeney and Robert Harding adds depth and grandeur to this already awe-inspiring scene. The vibrant colors captured in this photograph bring life to an otherwise desolate landscape, highlighting both its beauty and decay. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining what life might have been like during the height of Qasr Zarafshan's existence. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate not only our shared human history but also marvel at mankind's ability to create enduring structures that withstand centuries. This photograph serves as an invitation for travelers seeking adventure off-the-beaten-path destinations. It beckons us to explore the wonders hidden within Ghor Province while reminding us that even amidst ruin, there is still beauty waiting to be discovered.
