EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Robyn Stewart, we are transported to the enchanting village of Kandovan in Iran. Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of volcanic rock formations, this ancient settlement takes us back in time to the 13th century. Prepare to be amazed as you witness homes carved directly into these majestic rocks! It's a real-life Flintstones adventure that will leave you awestruck. The resourcefulness and ingenuity of the villagers who built these unique dwellings is truly mind-boggling. As we explore this extraordinary village, it becomes evident that nature and architecture have harmoniously merged here. Each house seems like a natural extension of its rocky surroundings, blending seamlessly with Mother Earth herself. Imagine waking up every morning surrounded by walls made from solid volcanic rock – talk about living on the edge! These houses offer not only shelter but also an incredible connection to history and tradition. They stand as a testament to human resilience and adaptability throughout centuries. Kandovan Village is more than just a place; it's an experience that transports us through time and space. So put on your explorer hat, grab your camera (or paintbrush), and get ready for an unforgettable journey into one of Earth's most awe-inspiring architectural wonders!
