This old Turkish caravan stop at first appeared to be just another ruin, but when I noticed an assertive shadow of a tourist momentarily imprinted upon its vast façade, I created a photograph based on the interplay of light, shadow, and structure. The shadowy figure at the summit of a neighboring building represents the authority of man, but it is impermanent, and will soon vanish. These old buildings, however, have stood the test of time and history -- they will remain long after we pass from the scene.
