About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a rocky hillside overlooking a small, still body of water. The ground is rough and uneven, with cracks and scattered stones. In the distance, a larger rock formation juts out over the water, and the horizon fades into a flat line where the sky meets the sea. The photo was taken in 1953, capturing a quiet, almost forgotten landscape near Lindos on the Greek island of Rhodes. The light is soft, highlighting the texture of the rocks and the stillness of the water. Look up the Museum of Ethnography to see where this photo is kept.
