In this print captured by Umit Bektas, carpets are delicately laid out in vast fields, creating a mesmerizing sight that beautifully contrasts with the sizzling sun above. The scene unfolds in Dosemealti, a charming town nestled within the Mediterranean province of Antalya, Turkey. As the scorching August heat envelops the region, these vibrant carpets serve a purpose beyond their aesthetic appeal. The strategic placement of these textiles serves to soften their colors under the intense rays of sunlight. Each carpet seems to come alive as it basks in nature's golden glow, transforming into an exquisite tapestry that harmonizes with its surroundings. This unique practice not only showcases Turkey's rich cultural heritage but also highlights its deep connection with nature. As we gaze upon this photograph, our senses are awakened by the vivid hues and intricate patterns adorning each carpet. We can almost feel the warmth radiating from beneath our feet as we imagine walking through this picturesque landscape. It is a testament to human creativity and adaptability – finding beauty even amidst challenging conditions. Umit Bektas has masterfully captured this moment where tradition meets innovation against an awe-inspiring backdrop. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind these carpets and their role in preserving local traditions while embracing modern techniques. This image stands as a reminder of how something as simple as laying out carpets can transform an ordinary field into an extraordinary work of art under the relentless summer sun.
