Palmyra in a sand storm. Syria
Monumental columns and an arch stand out against a dust filled sky as sand storms sweep across the ruins of Palmyra.Palmyra is an oasis in the Syrian Desert, north-east of Damascus. Palmyra contains the monumental ruins of a great city that was one of the most important cultural centres of the ancient world. From the 1st to the 2nd century, the art and architecture of Palmyra, standing at the crossroads of several civilisations, married Greco-Roman techniques with local traditions and Persian influences. The ruined city was discovered by European travellers in the 17th and 18th centuries, contributing greatly to the subsequent revival of classical architectural styles and urban design in the West

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Palmyra, an ancient city in Syria, amidst a fierce sandstorm. The monumental columns and arch stand defiantly against a backdrop of swirling dust, symbolizing the resilience and endurance of this once-great cultural center. Palmyra, located in the Syrian Desert, was renowned for its art and architecture that blended Greco-Roman techniques with local traditions and Persian influences. It stood at the crossroads of civilizations, serving as a melting pot of diverse cultures during its heyday from the 1st to 2nd century. The ruins of Palmyra were rediscovered by European travelers in the 17th and 18th centuries, sparking a revival of classical architectural styles in Western society. This image serves as a testament to both its historical significance and tragic fate. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur that once graced these now-demolished structures. The abandoned rubble evokes feelings of melancholy while reminding us of our collective responsibility to preserve our shared heritage. Through Joe & Clair Carnegie's lens, we are reminded not only of Palmyra's ancient civilization but also its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—a reminder that it is not just another ghost town lost to history but rather an enduring testament to human ingenuity and creativity.
