EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient terraces of Battir, a remarkable sight located west of Bethlehem and south of Jerusalem. The terraces, which stretch across both sides of the Green Line with parts in Israel and Palestine, have been an integral part of Battir's landscape for over 2,000 years. What makes these terraces truly exceptional is their unique irrigation system that continues to be utilized even today. These man-made structures serve as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who designed them centuries ago. In 2014, recognizing their historical significance and cultural value, UNESCO registered Battir's agricultural terraces as the second World Heritage site under Palestinian jurisdiction. This recognition further solidifies their importance not only to local communities but also on a global scale. The photograph captures the essence of this rural scene in all its splendor - vast fields stretching into the horizon against a backdrop of breathtaking Middle Eastern landscapes. With no people present in the image, it allows viewers to focus solely on appreciating nature's beauty intertwined with human history. Whether you are an avid traveler seeking unique destinations or an admirer of ancient civilizations' legacies, this print serves as a reminder that some traditions can withstand time while remaining relevant and awe-inspiring in our modern world.
