EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the 2,500-year-old ruins of Persepolis in Iran. Once the grand palaces of the Achaemenid dynasty, these ancient remnants stand as a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of this bygone empire. Located in Takht-e Jamshid, also known as Persepolis, this UNESCO World Heritage site is nestled near Marvdasht, a central Iranian city. Despite their magnificence, these ruins bear witness to destruction and devastation caused by Alexander of Macedonia. The once majestic structures were burned and razed during his conquests. However, even in their state of absence and decay, they exude an undeniable charm that transports visitors back to a time when Persian culture flourished. The photograph showcases one particular column amidst the old ruins—an architectural marvel that has withstood centuries of wear and tear. Its intricate design reflects the mastery and attention to detail prevalent during its construction. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself stepping into history—a journey through time that unravels stories of empires past. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of Persia's glorious past but also highlights humanity's enduring fascination with archaeology and our collective desire to preserve cultural heritage for future generations. German Vogel skillfully captures both the grandeur and fragility encapsulated within this historical site through his lens—inviting viewers on an immersive visual exploration into one of Iran's most iconic
