EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Old City skyline of Yazd, Iran, in Western Asia. The focal point of this image is the iconic bagdirs windtowers that grace the city's architectural landscape. Bathed in vibrant colors and captured horizontally, this photograph truly captures the essence of this remarkable travel destination. The old city exudes a sense of history and charm as its buildings stand tall against the clear blue sky. With no people present, one can fully appreciate the grandeur of these ancient structures. The rooftops made of stone create a striking contrast against the backdrop of towering columns. Dating back to the 19th century, these wind catchers or bagdirs were ingeniously designed for air cooling purposes in Iranian culture. They serve as a testament to traditional architecture and are an integral part of Yazd's heritage. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported to a time when tradition reigned supreme. It beautifully encapsulates both historical and cultural elements that make up Yazd's identity - from its typically Iranian cities to its stereotypically Iranian traditions. E. Simanor skillfully captures all these nuances through his lens, inviting viewers on an immersive journey into Iran's rich past. Whether you're an avid traveler or simply appreciate photography that tells stories, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its timeless beauty.
