EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of illuminated underground karez (water canals) in the oasis town of Turpan, located along the historic Silk Road in Xinjiang, China. The image showcases a vibrant display of bright colors and lights that illuminate the ancient canals, creating a truly enchanting sight. The photograph transports viewers to this hidden world beneath the surface, where tunnels stretch into the distance with a diminishing perspective. The reflection of light on the water adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its magical allure. This underground oasis is not only a testament to human ingenuity but also serves as a reminder of how vital water has been for civilizations throughout history. Turpan's karez system dates back over 2,000 years and represents an integral part of Chinese culture and tradition. These subterranean channels were ingeniously designed to transport water from nearby mountains to sustain life in this arid region. Today, they continue to be an important tourist destination for those seeking insight into China's rich historical heritage. Annie Owen's skillful photography perfectly captures this unique aspect of traditionally Chinese architecture and engineering marvels found along the Silk Road route. With no people present in this image, it allows us to fully appreciate both its grandeur and tranquility. Whether you are interested in travel or simply admire beautiful imagery that tells stories about our world's diverse cultures and landscapes, Annie Owen's print is sure to captivate your imagination.
