EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Robert Harding showcases the Zoroastrian Tower of Silence, a unique and intriguing burial site located in Yazd, Iran. Standing tall against the backdrop of the Middle East landscape, this outdoor tower is a testament to the rich history and customs of Zoroastrianism. The Tower of Silence holds great significance for followers of this ancient religion. In accordance with their beliefs, bodies are not buried or cremated but instead left atop these towers to be exposed to the elements and consumed by scavenger birds. This practice symbolizes the cycle of life and death within Zoroastrianism. Through his lens, Harding captures both the contemporary beauty and spiritual essence that surrounds this sacred place. The color image brings out every detail - from the intricate architectural design to the vastness of its surroundings. As a travel destination, Yazd offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in Iranian culture while exploring religious landmarks like this one. It serves as a reminder that our world is filled with diverse customs and traditions worth discovering. Whether you are drawn to photography or have an interest in different religions around the globe, this stunning print will transport you directly into another time and place – inviting contemplation on life's mysteries while appreciating its visual splendor.
