EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and tranquility of Sulaimaniya, a historic town nestled in the lush valleys of Iraq's Kurdistan region. Dating back to the 13th century, Sulaimaniya has been a cultural melting pot, with influences from various civilizations including the Assyrians, Persians, and Ottomans. The image showcases the picturesque flat-roofed houses with their distinctive whitewashed walls, typical of traditional Iraqi architecture. The rooftops offer a bird's-eye view of the verdant landscape, dotted with palm trees and lush vegetation. The town's serene atmosphere is further accentuated by the clear, azure sky and the absence of modern structures, transporting us back in time to the 1930s. Sulaimaniya's rich history is reflected in its vibrant bazaars, ancient mosques, and the stunning Sulaimaniya Lake. The town has long been a center for learning and intellectual pursuits, with numerous scholars, poets, and artists having made it their home. This photograph is an enduring testament to the timeless charm of Sulaimaniya and the resilience of its people, who have weathered the challenges of war and conflict while preserving their unique cultural heritage. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable town and the region, and to reflect on the complex and fascinating history of Iraq.
