EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrill and excitement of a traditional horse race in the enchanting desert landscape of Jordan, circa 1995. The image portrays a dynamic scene as Arab horses and their riders, dressed in traditional Bedouin attire, charge forward, raising a cloud of dust in their wake. The horses' powerful strides and the determined expressions of their riders convey a sense of raw energy and determination. The backdrop of the Jordanian desert, with its towering sand dunes and rugged terrain, adds to the sense of adventure and mystery. The historic city of Petra, famous for its ancient rock-cut architecture, can be glimpsed in the distance, serving as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of this beautiful country. The horse race is an integral part of Jordanian tradition and history, with roots dating back to the ancient civilizations of the region. The Bedouin people, who have lived in the desert for centuries, have long relied on horses for transportation and as a symbol of their nomadic lifestyle. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into this fascinating aspect of Jordanian culture, frozen in time and preserved for future generations to appreciate. The image is a captivating testament to the enduring bond between man and horse, as they navigate the challenging desert terrain together. The raw beauty of the scene, with its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, makes for a truly breathtaking and unforgettable visual experience.
