EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Runkel takes us on a visual journey to an ancient oasis in the heart of the Algerian desert. The image showcases an old ksar, or town, near Timimoun, nestled amidst the barren and extreme terrain of western Algeria. As we gaze upon this architectural marvel, we are transported back in time to a place where history and culture intertwine. The vibrant blue sky serves as a striking backdrop for the weathered buildings that stand as remnants of a bygone era. With no people in sight, we can truly appreciate the solitude and tranquility that surrounds this old town. The dry and arid landscape adds to its mystique, emphasizing the resilience of those who once inhabited these walls. This photograph is not just a travel destination; it is an invitation to explore our past and connect with our roots. It reminds us of the rich heritage embedded within North Africa's diverse cultures. The ruins speak volumes about their historical significance while also serving as a testament to human ingenuity. As we admire this stunning capture, let us reflect on how these old ruins have stood against time's relentless march forward. They serve as reminders that even in desolate landscapes, beauty can be found if one looks closely enough. Let Michael Runkel's lens transport you to this enchanting world where history whispers through every stone and where nature meets architecture in perfect harmony.
