EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Andrew McConnell/Robert Harding, a lone man stands amidst the ancient ruins of the mud-brick city of Al-Qasr in Dakhla Oasis, Egypt. The image transports us to North Africa, where history and time intertwine. The photograph captures the essence of this outdoor archaeological site, showcasing its raw beauty and rich cultural heritage. The crumbling walls and weathered structures tell stories of a once-thriving town that now lies in ruins. As we gaze at the image, we can almost feel the weight of history upon our shoulders. The man standing among these remnants becomes a symbol of resilience and curiosity. His presence adds scale to the vastness of the ruins surrounding him, reminding us how small we are compared to the grandeur of human civilization. Dakhla Oasis itself is a hidden gem within Egypt's desert landscape. Its remote location offers an escape from modernity while providing an opportunity for exploration and discovery. This travel destination beckons adventurers seeking to immerse themselves in ancient history and experience firsthand the wonders that lie off-the-beaten-path. Andrew McConnell/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures both the physical decay and enduring spirit found within Al-Qasr's mud-brick city walls. Through his lens, he invites us on a visual journey through time – one that evokes awe for our shared human past while igniting wanderlust for future travels across Africa's diverse landscapes.
