EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Morocco's Tadakoust village nestled in the majestic Anti-Atlas Mountains, near Akka. Perched atop a steep bluff, a crumbling agadir, or fortified granary, stands as a testament to the rich history and ingenuity of the Berber people. Built with meticulous care by these resourceful inhabitants, these granaries served as strongholds for safeguarding their precious food supplies and valuables. As time passes, however, many of these once vital structures are succumbing to disuse and dilapidation. The image showcases the stark contrast between ancient traditions and modernity that can be found in this rugged landscape. The mountainous terrain forms an awe-inspiring backdrop for this fortress-like peak that seems to defy gravity. The rocky ridge upon which the agadir precariously sits adds an element of mystery and intrigue to this breathtaking scene. It is a reminder of how nature's forces shape our surroundings over centuries. This photograph offers viewers a glimpse into North Africa's enchanting beauty while also highlighting its historical significance. It invites us to reflect on the resilience of past civilizations and their ability to adapt within challenging environments
